Very good in fact, given that the median income (household) is between $55-70K. So that's roughly $27-35K, for a two-income household (which most households are these days). My wife and I are in Socal too, bringing in between $300-400K a year. So we're doing ok. And I agree with you, that even at this income level, we don't feel rich by any stretch of the imagination. But yeah, just wanted to let you know that I know very few people around me (especially among the millennial cohort), making $150K. Most are making between $35-55K, from what I've gathered. So great job! I rose through the ranks pretty quickly myself; went from being in customer service to VP in roughly 7 years. Without any connections. I'm just very driven, like you; and I know my worth, and I'm not afraid to put in the time and effort to show the results.

Accounting is an excellent career choice. If you play your cards right, you can make an excellent income in your 20s without having to incur the 1) lost money-making years and 2) debt that comes with graduate or professional school. And if you invest all that extra cash you're stacking in your 20s, you can set yourself up for financial freedom in your 40s or even 30s. This is especially true for you since you sound like you're well ahead of the game, having already started your side hustle!\n\nAccounting is also an excellent long-term career choice if you're ambitious enough. I'm sure you know that some senior partners at some firms make 7 figures! And even if you leave public accounting, there are still extremely lucrative positions in industry.\n\nI think our field is truly underrated. Every now and then I'll bump into somebody I haven't seen since college, and they'll ask me, \"So are you still doing accounting?\", as though it's a field that any reasonable person would abandon as soon as possible. I just politely reply, \"Yeah, it pays the bills,\" but what I'm thinking is, \"Of course! There are only a handful of fields where I can make $150,000 - $200,000 in my 20s without extensive schooling, and I'm in one of them! I'd be crazy to leave it to go do something else and start at the bottom of the totem pole!\"\n\nAnd what's more, if you ever want to start your own business, qualified independent tax and accounting professionals are always in demand. You could easily bring in at least $150,000 a year working from home if you have the right experience. And if you really want to hustle and\/or bring in contractors or employees, the sky's the limit!\n\nI wish you the best as you continue your accounting studies and side hustling.","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Logan Allec, CPA","url":"https:\/\/loganallec.com\/"}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/moneydoneright.com\/career\/success\/salary-growth\/#Comment9","dateCreated":"2017-07-05 19:27:11","description":"Thanks for your post.
