In reality, if I wantd to, I probably COULD move to Utah now and make what I'm making. Individual salary history has a huge impact on negotiations. But I don't think I could have developed that history if I had stayed in Utah. Which incidentally is why I think if a kid wants to live in Utah, a good life/career plan is to leave for 5-10 years, then move back.

To live comfortably you have to meet a certain income level. After that choices open up to you where you can trade off additional income for other things. |

I make 9 times as much now as I used to make early in my life.

My highest paying job on a per hour basis was washing cars and mowing lawns in Saudi Arabia as a teenager during the summer. It took me until I was 26 to make as much per hour as I did then.
It's amazing how much people will pay not to have to do those things in 115 degree heat. |

My first hourly job was $4.15/hr. My first job was delivering papers...I don't want to think about what I was paid to do that.
