A lot of white collar jobs can make $100k pretty easily when you work for medium to large corporations: IT, Project Management, Sales, Engineering,Tax, Accounting and Finance will get you there easily once you become a manager level. Even senior employee levels can hit $80-90k easily plus benefits and often with an annual bonus. But merely having an undergraduate degree is just not enough anymore to get to that level. So, coming out of high school could still have 5-8 years more education depending on what’s path you go. And then you need to continue learning until the day your retire to be relevant and not become obsolete.
But, working in the trades can get that kind of money too if you work hard, do quality work, develop a good reputation, take training and become unionized or a master tradesman..
Sorry, are you saying that breaking 100k right after getting an undergraduate degree isn’t possible anymore? Or are you saying working your way up in a white collar job and only having an undergraduate degree won’t allow someone to break that yearly salary? I probably read it wrong and got confused.
