CogSciGuy: I know what you mean – I went into engineering, and yes I do have a six figure income (basically the same as yours), but it took me years and years to get there.
The thing is, I don’t know to many people that do have six figure incomes. As I have read these forums for quite some time, I can’t help but wonder from time to time who is BSing and who isn’t.
BTW, there is NO shame in not having a big income, none at all.
