I remember (Midwest in 2004) drawing out a curve which predicted $100k inflation adjusted at age 50 assuming I was in top 10% of engineers by productivity.

As an early undergrad I remember being agog at the notion of a “six figure salary”. That was for doctors and lawyers and such. First time I met an engineer that made over $100k, I was convinced they were a huckster.
