If you have any kind of useful degree, you can make a whole lot more than 60K a year right out of college or graduate school (especially grad school). Unless you have nothing more than a high school degree, you have to be a real screw-up to spend 20 years making it to 60K.

What planet do you live on? I want to move there.
I have never earned more than 60K in a year. I have however spent a good portion of the last 20 years raising 2 children as a single parent. Both of them will make a lot more than I ever have.
Some things are simply more important than money. Incidentally, I do not have a Masters Degree, but I do have what is likely more college credits than the average Bachelors degree holder.
