Our neighbor's daughter is a math whiz who took college courses in high school and got her first degree when she was 20 years old. While working on her masters she did a Christmas part time job at REI in Seattle. they saw her potential and hired her full time at just under $100k.

A few months later she was sent to a business seminar where she met someone who lured her away to Amazon for $125k plus stock bonuses that added another $30k. After just about 2 years at Amazon, people she met there began a start up and she went with them as a partner, now she's making real money traveling between her home in Aspen and an second HQ in Denmark.

It's not an everyday story. But it's a good one for a little girl who lived next door and is just turning 25.

Good for her!

Sounds like I got my grad degrees in the wrong era!

Though places where there are Google & Amazon are places I would hate to live! I used to have to go to the Silicon Valley a couple of times a month. Other then the jobs I couldn’t see the attraction.
