I'm just saying, compare what you're making to the average person your age. Take into account the amount of debt that comes along with some of the professions requiring extensive schooling. Also consider the conditions and work life balance (ex: welders can make a great deal of money however they are often away from home for months and work 6-7 days a week in rough conditions).

Even if you're not at FAANG, overall, we're making a lot of money working from a comfy chair with little to no required debt.
