I just got a 6 figure position this year (2011). I hit job market just 2.5 years ago and have to say that with hard work it is indeed possible. The only advice i would tell ppl is that they should be honest with themselves and admit that money is a primary motivator in professional decisions. I started working with my first company a month after graduation at about 60k and moved within 16 months to a 90k package. I have just been promoted for a new position with a compensation package of 115k. I am 26 at the moment and have a graduate degree but the fact that I never hid that money motivated me has allowed to navigate though my industry quickly. The only i would tell young ppl like myself that are rising quickly is to not forget that the rise to big paychecks can be quick when u work hard but the fall can be quicker. congrats on yoour acccomplishement.

CFA will limit you to big cities (I doubht you can find a CFA position in a small city) where I can work anywhere. there is always good and bad sides of a job ;-) @T,

Just wanted to add that I appreciate your advice and think a lot of it's great. I have my employer paying for my CFA certification and plan on obtaining that before I'm 30, which should solidify my salary goal. Cheers. I don’t want to sound like a bitter man.

Especially at 28, it's something you should be proud of. However, I must say making $100k as a Financial Planner or in a sales job as such (Insurance Salesman, etc), isn't that serious. Yes it means you hustled to some degree and I hope you enjoy that money but I'm in the field of Finance in banking and I hope to hit 100k before I"m there. I'm only at 50k at 25 years of age but I think you have a career as such it's much more commendable, it's something that no one can take away from you. I can move 1,000 miles away and still make the same. You can't...you're tied to your clients, when the market goes down, so does your pay. If one of your major clients leave you, you lose money. Just my opinion but you should still be proud of yourself. Making 6 figures is great, at any age. Especially at 28, it’s something you should be proud of.

You've done it the right way. My wife and I followed somewhat similar paths in different industries and it's a cool feeling to reach a milestone. I can't imagine not knowing/telling your spouse your income. That's not a marriage. After being a recruiter for years and now an Investment Advisor I guess I'm just used to talking salaries/finances with people. I've found if you don't feel uneasy, neither does the other person.
