$160k, law in NYC. As others mentioned if you break it down by the hour (and not just billable hours actual hours spent working its not that much in NYC with all the taxes). However, I've since moved to Texas and two years later make $185K and if I never received a raise again would be perfectly fine in this city. Really amazing the difference the COL and especially no city or state taxes make.
$40k out of high school in 2006, $78k in 2012, same retail company since high school. Didn't have enough self discipline to finish college, working on it now! When you're 18 $40k feels rich, who needs college? When you're 26 $78k feels mediocre and you kick yourself for not going to college, oh, how perceptions change, haha.
I am 26 and make like $22k a year. don't be so hard on yourself.
A lot of people at age 26 with post high school education are making what you are making, if not less.
Not mediocre relative to what others make, mediocre relative to what I could be doing if I had concentrated that drive and work ethic into school and attained a degree before I started my career. Could be better off, or worse, just hard not to wonder!
