Anyone here earn more than $100,000/year?
what do you do? how'd you do it? do you advise others to do the same?
>>768212793
There are probably a lot of folks, it's very common. I'm a programmer.
>>768212793
I make about $150k/year in tech sales at Microsoft.
Varies by year, depending on stock grants.
>>768212793
Right @ 100k, 30y/o.
My take home is a little less than it would be if I worked a corporate job tho, I have a small business so I have to pay 100% of my own insurance.
My advice, get a valuable education. Thats a much easier way.
If you are a college drop out like me, I would advise you to find a job in a small business, learn everything thing about it, save your money and start your own version of that business..
I made about 100k last year in my second year of business with the potential to make a lot more.
Def not easy, and somewhat risky. Easier route is education.
>>768212793
$120k/year
IT manager...
Basically, I hold my companies management hostage as they have no clue about tech...
>>768212793
I made just under 150k last year.
Dredgermen
110K + quarterly bonus
Family Nurse Practitioner.
I worked and studied full time. It was tough, but achievable. I recommend it. Now, Part of my focus is investing in the stock market. What I wished I would have done when I was younger.... Invest, read more, wake up earlier, and not have partied as much as I did when I was younger.
armed robbery. money waits for no one go out and get it broke fags.
$157k last year as a PI.
Most of the work comes via insurance companies, law firms and the Church of Scientology.

Wtf in the UK nurses get 20k gbp
Even with multiple degrees and 20 years experience, ability to prescribe etc. it maxes out at 40k gbp
>>768215532
Jesus, that's practically poverty-level. I know a couple of US nurses that specialized in anesthetics, they make almost as much as doctors. It's insane.
>>768215532
It looks like uk is short on nurses because they don;t want to be taken advantage of
I should make at least 100k this year. God damn I love welding.
>>768213296
Enjoy that while you're still working for baby boomers. You'll be replaced when the general populace recognizes a CAT9
>>768216440
>hurr durr I hold the sparkly bit to the shiny bit till it don't shake
You deserve the shit pay you get. Drones will replace all but the most skilled welders when all that's needed is a basic fix.
>>768216440
You say You love welding.
But what about the job is it you like?
Just the fact it looks really cool... or what
>>768216440
I just found this yesterday night. What do you think this welder is doing wrong? Is the profession really dead as he says?
https://youtu.be/4gijdEl6PKI
I make close to 205,000 a year welding
How many of you 100k+ people have a college diploma ?
>>768217109
It that normal pay for a welder.
$105k. Engineering Manager. Best advice I can think of is to plan your career path before you start into it. I've seen too many people go to college for some BS degree only to bitch later in life because that field caps at $50k/yr.
>>768217130
I'm the programmer - yes, I've got a masters.
>>768217243
Feminism studies degeee am I rite, and they prolly work as a dishwasher
>>768212978
>very common
I hope you program better than you understand statistics.
>>768217223
nope. don't even have an education I am just an artist at what I do.
>>768217223
I make over a $100k welding. Still paying for a useless degree.
Learn the trade, buy your own rig, hit the road. Don’t smoke meth.
Roughly 200k, Sr. Software Eng at a big company. It's cool at first then you're just a slave to the money and the lifestyle.
>>768216440
How did you get into welding and what are the requirements. is it an easy job ? stressing ? what about free time
>>768212793
About 113k last year before taxes.... I sell sextoys and other junk in 2 online shops. To bad eurotard tax takes almost half of it
>>768217796
Want:
>easy job
>stress free
>free time
Good luck breaking $100k
>>768217613
This guy gets it. There are two types of welders. One is a guy who is good at it, knows what he's doing, and does a good job. The other is a guy who's welding because he did time for raping a thirteen year old while high on smack.
It seems insane for a guy with a hot stick of metal can earn that much, but it's something that's needed often and if you're good and reliable, people will call you rather than buy a bunch of gear and set their hair on fire.
>>768217782
..I'm pretty sure that's all of us with any job just a shittier budget or bigger budget, we are all slaves for money.
>>768215532
Damn. That's like a McD's salary.
>>768215532
Likely has to do with GB's health system.
>>768217371
Over 99% of all six-figure professionals make over 100k per year.
If any of you need any help with marketing, online work let me know. Your personal workforce and you'll get all the help you need.
And no I don't make near the amount you do. But I am happy with what I do and I help people get richer.
I make 111k. I'm an operations manager for a company that supplies components for various furniture assemblies. I do not have a college degree, I do not have a technical degree. I was simply hired as a warehousing guy and worked my ass off and earned it.
>>768217326
Some of that for sure, but I've seen other people that go into the field they actually studied for but are somehow blown away that it pays shit. It takes 10 minutes to pull salary averages for different careers. Some people can't be bothered to do that, but have no problem borrowing $50k and wasting 4 years in college just to find out the hard way.
I make over $100k per year. I sell my ass to fags at $500a pop and have done some gay porn. Funny thing is I am not gay, it is just a way to make money.
>>768218931
Thats 200 dicks in your ass a year, how is it haveing aids?
I get about £100k basic, 20% bonus and half my salary in shares every year, long term incentive thing - rolling years so can't cash them in immediately. Pretty sweet deal though.
I'm a fucking cloud architect, build computer shit out of clouds.
>>768212978
>very common
confirmed. all my friends are programmers or tech guys. they all make 100k+, even the tech support guys.
>>768217130
no college at all. just worked my ass off to learn programming and algorithms myself.
>>768219315
How did you get the job? All programming jobs near me require at least a bs degree?
>>768219371
I started in tech support and asked all the programmers for advice about what to study, then did that for years, did little automation projects at first. It's pretty easy to advance in the tech industry.
>>768217130
Bachelors here
450k a year
Invasive Cardiologist. Parents paid for college, and getting in was easy as the college required just like a 3.5 high school gpa with a couple of AP classes. The college had a 6 year program where I can major in Biology, and get my M.D, also Cardiology was pretty in need when I started working in 2009, so the second I was out of college I got a residency, and the same hospital offered me a job starting at 345k in 2013. After 3 years I got promoted, and after cost of living bonuses as well as extra benefits, I am making 450k.
>>768219371
Getting that first job is the difficult bit, where education might be a deciding factor. After that, most companies will be looking at job history and relevant tech rather than education. Absolutely depends on the industry of course, but if you're working with aws azure etc, understand how to build distributed highly available systems, that's in high demand and pays well. Learn containers, kubernetes. That's going to keep me paid for the next few years
>>768218275
Nice bait kid.
>>768219736
You will always be tech support script kiddie scum
>>768220594
Script kiddies get paid a lot until they get charged with hacking.
>>768220381
Many thanks for thine praise, m'lord
>>768213109
OP asked if anybody made > $100k/year. That doesn't mean I made $90k/year and $60k in funny money. GTFO.
>>768220905
Did you call Microsoft stock funny money? Max jej, have you even checked the splits historically? It’s up there with Berkshire Hathaway
>>768220089
Wow. So the insurance companies didn’t screw you over with how much they will pay you? Many doctors say insurance companies screw doctors over and make it hard for a doctor to get serious money anymore ...
>>768212793
sales dude.
find something in demand, learn it, sell it, take care of your customers.
jackpot.
>>768221492
>implying its insurance companies driving up the cost of health care up and not the AMA.
>>768222952
And how can the severely autistic btards learn the social skills needed to sell shit?
>>768217613
Taylor plz go
>>768223235
In many cases you dont need much if you can answer questions about a product.
Not all sales is like going out and closing deals.
Inside sales is answering phone calls and emails for a business and helping customers find what the need, pricing it for them and processing orders.
>>768224277
Truth is the big bucks are in outside sales tho. Those guys can make half a mill a year in my business if they can make it rain.
>>768224270
>>768224277
So basically a glorified order taker, not the pushy asshole trying to sell ice to Eskimos.
On track to pull down about $150k this year. Self employed, work on commercial refrigeration. First year out on my own. Should have gone into business sooner instead of being a wage slave.
>>768213109
My grandpa that ranaway stilp there? Bill Cackler. Been about 16 years ago but he was making good money even then.
>>768224791
Basically. But it does take some specialized product and market knowledge and those guys can push 120k.
How much could one make as a cross country truck driver? Over 100k, or is trucking a bullshit job.

Yup. He works for inside sales for a company activly trying to make AI do his job. Enjoy getting Micro$hafted
>>768224971
If you own your own rig you can make pretty decent money. I dont think you can make much more than 50k driving for someone.
>>768213939

You better be talking pre-ipo. Or ffs at least options.

It's going the way of the buggy whip and long haul will be first to go. There gonna be local drivers for years to come but that gonna go away too. AI gonna put anyone with a repetitive job out of work in the next 20 years
>>768225074
You are dumb. Investing and speculating are different things. Some of the largest fortunes in history have been made both investing and speculating.
If arent buying equities, you are gonna stay poor.
>>768225135
And I'm local,home every night.
>>768216818
Did you get raped by a welder?
>>768225135
Dont believe you, sorry. In any case that union shit is dying, thank christ.
>>768217819
I am manufacturing toys soon in the states.
Maybe we could work something out?
Got a fake email?
>>768225071
Wrong !! 120 k last year working for a parcel company. Teamster
>>768225074
Also, options can be FAR riskier than owning equities out right. Please dont talk out of your ass child.
>>768225287
The mob is killing off the union bosses, so yes the union is dying.
>>768212793
130k no degree, for the love of God please don't listen to the idiots talking about education. It's a destructive path leading straight to debt. Just get on a good IT path and see what certifications are paying the most. Snag an engineering or sales role and you're golden (not hard to do).
How do you comment
>>768225321
You are in the top 1% of earners in that field, good for you.
Enjoy it while it lasts, commie.
>>768225233
Preach it. Just keep expenses low, dollar cost average in, hold primarily index funds and stay in it for the long haul is a recipe for building real wealth.
Also owning some securities is a good idea too, I am pretty agressive though and only own about 10% bonds. Though they are getting more attractive now.
>>768225287
Wanna see my check?
Union is definitely dying, but it's not dead yet
>>768225373
Lol, what year is this? Nah, economics are killing unions.
>>768216818
Why are you so mad tho?
>>768225380
Or learn a trade. I bill $80/hr and have a very low cost for starting up in buisness.

>>768223235
Easy as fuck if you can bold faced lie to people. I cant so i bounced. For some reason people seem to like me. I feel like its a gift amd wrong to use it for financial gain by lies.
>>768217044
I am an RN in a psych unit. With a bit of overtime and one rental, I made $102 last year. That's not even including my wife's salary. Seems like I should be living a more extravegant lifestyle and have more cash, though.
>>768214438
>>768224971
NOOOOOO
RUN
i could spend 26 2,000 character shitposts on why. Just dont if in the states
>>768225694
Thank god. We need to get something like this going in the US. We need to get the earnings of all the health care people down. Unfortunately the AMA is the highest spending, most effect lobby in the country.
I make just shy of it in the mid 90s. I have a no skills labour job. But I put in about 1100 overtime hours a year
>>768215179
Kek. Best job in the thread
>>768225071
NO.
DO NOT.
TRUST ME I AM DRIVER. WAS DRIVER..
>>768225787
Not what you make it is what you spend
>>768225850
What piece of shit company lets you put in that much overtime, Jesus? Prob govt actually.
I heard that it costs the city of Baltimore a million dollars a week just in over time because the nigs in charge mismanage the police force so badly.
>>768225948
I never ever allow overtime at my place. Im fucking vigilant.
>>768225177
Oh my fucking cringe no.
You people throw around inbest like a buzzward. None of that is investing and umyou have 0 control other than buy/sell.
With oil wells you can drill where you want. You can do shit to male it produce more. Real estate you can ssling paint and carpet and shit.
I do invest anon! Not enough yet, but last year after all expenses i got 60%. MUTHAFUCKING 60. Not 3% cd or a fucking gamble on water down index funds and shit.
Buy or build asset. Improve asset. Use or sell asset to get more.

A steel fabrication shop in western canada. We got a new GM a year ago who's fucked our shit up. He laid off half our workforce and got rid of the night shift, and pushes ridiculous deadlines. Works fine by me since I get the cash. I pulled in an extra 5 g last Xmas as a bonus since I never missed a day
>>768225287
This is sort of believable. I've deposited my father-in-law's paychecks in the bank before,(he drives OTR, union) and he must average 2500-2700 take-home for a two week check.
>>768212793
I clear the "six figure" mark probably 3 out of 5 years on average, as a professional poker player.
It's a fun "profession" for a number of reasons, especially when I basically get to decide my own schedule, but it also requires a lot more self-accountability and discipline than many office jobs. If you have a bad week at an standard salaried office job, you might get fired, but you know what you're getting paid. If I have a "bad week", it's likely that I lose money.
You have to be doing something that you can at least tolerate reasonably well, or the money means nothing, because you'll inevitably burn out on it. I love playing cards, and there are still times when I barely want to bother with it.
Also, when you're looking into something, understand that one of the realities of capitalism (whether it's a pro or con) is that people earn what they "cost", not what they're "worth". Always remember that when you're sizing up different fields. I'm a degenerate gambler and contribute very little to society, but people are willing to play with me and pay a collective "cost" of doing so, that allows me to win six figures a year.
>>768226227
Hey make that money man, but from the stand point of the business, that cant be healthy.
Cash is easy. Love is hard.
>>768226397
Lol ive heard this one several times. Cmon man, admit it your a neet who won a little money playing poker like once.
>>768212978
Please don't make it worldwide
>>768226419
Oh I know. I keep asking at our quarterly meetings why he doesn't reinstate the night shift so we don't have to pull OT constantly. I love the cash but I want the business to keep floating so I still have a job
>>768226227
Hopefully he doesn’t lay you off. Have a backup plan ready just in case he closes the plant down.
we need unions now more than ever. Look up companies like Amazon and Walmart do to their people. the unions are our only protection from these mega-corporations
I heard that oil rigs out west payed a shit-ton, but I was listening to NPR and the guy they were interviewing was only making like, $18 an hour.
>>768226713
I think it is the people fighting fires on those rigs or doing other dangerous jobs that rake in the money.
>>768225828
I don't understand it tbh granted I do probably put in more hours than a nurse but I only trained for like 6 months compared to their 4 years and I make nearly 60k a year
>>768225922
Yeah, me and wife blow it all. Really want to start budgeting and shit
>>768226646
Im not worried. Im the most senior worker here after the foreman. If they do trim the fat ill be fine. Either way im applying rmfor school this year so im not too concerned
>>768226953
If you have too much training you don’t get as many hours because it is cheaper to have a minimum wage slave work ot then a skilled and highly paid worker
