A couple of things stick out in my mind with this thread. I dont think 6 figures necessarily equals happiness in most cases, I know people who make that much and barely live paycheck to paycheck.. spending habits are more of a concern than actual salary. Also look for something that you enjoy doing and do well, trust me you will be successful if you are persistent and enjoy it that much.

I make a good amount to be 26 but honestly I do not love my job and would gladly take a paycut for something I enjoy doing which is why I am pursuing entrepreneurship. Have you considered trying your own business? It may not be instant wealth but the gratification you get from writing your own paycheck is second to none. Shoot me an instant message or pm sometime and we can chat, I have business ideas pop in my head at the least twice a day.
