My spouse and I have three degrees between the two of us and neither of us has ever made that much. At this point we will likely be too old for kids before we can afford them.

I got lucky and ended up at a job with almost infinite growth. Masters in mechE and I do controls, scada, and inventory management stuff. My wife is a high paid dental assistant.

My job is imposter syndrome defined. I enter a factory and I'm the most important person in the building, but I feel like I barely understand what I'm doing. Wish I could give career advice besides 'be the expert in the room'. Which I know cant be everyone.
