At what age do you have the highest earning potential? I hear between 30 and 40. Is this true?

Not necessarily, but I'm guessing if there was a plot, it would favor 30+.  Jobs that require around 10+ years of work experience generally pay higher than those entry-level ones.\n\nFor those that start their own business, this may be the time after making a few mistakes along the way here and there.\n\nBut, there are plenty of rich people that do not fall into that age bracket, so don't limit yourself into that thinking.

I'd say it depends on what you want to study and why. If you want to study for self-growth that's one thing. If you're doing it for career and financial advancement, you should carefully see how much money is required and how much extra money you would make from this new career. You probably will be working another 30 years so 35 is not that old.\n\nI advise you not to focus on your age so much for any life decisions. In America those limits are coming down left and right. I do have friends who finished school in their mid-thirties or went back for masters degrees in their 30s, 40s or later. The papers usually have a story of some 80+ year old who just got a college degree.\n\nDon't let anyone pour negativity into your head with "you're too old to do X." Make that a life policy. You've got to get all the facts you can and then trust your instincts.\n\nI must stress getting all the facts. When I went back to get my Masters degree in my mid-thirties, I found out about some money saving options after it was too late. Talk to lots of people who go to the schools that interest you as well as the people who work for the school.\n\nGood Luck!

it depends on how you want to live and where you want to live.  Supposedly, i could live like royalty if I were in Mexico because it is much less expensive there to live and I've been working and saving for 20 years.  I couldn't do that here without penalties to my retirement accounts.  You are supposed to work til you are 65.  Unless you win the lotto.  Better start playing!

I think those jobs pay in the 40's.  Research it on the net.

Some may think a good WAH opportunity is one where you make a great deal of money... *(Residual income plus bonuses) \n\nAnother person may consider a good opportunity to be one where they have alot of free time to spend with their children.*(It's MY Business...I work around MY schedule... FOR myself not BY myself) \n\nStill another may consider an opportunity to be a good one when at the end of the day and know you have honestly helped someone. *(Business motto... Enhancing the lives of those we touch by helping others to reach their goals)\n\nI work with a Company that has been in business for over 20 years, with excellent credentials, Inc 500 Company, and has experienced consistant growth over all 20 years. email me if you'd like more info.\n\nI couldn't ask for more!!!!

http://salary.money.cnn.com/ or salary.com\n\nand if you really want to make money, id spend some time in school and atleast get a bachelors if not a grad degree. an extra 3 or 4  years really isnt much compared to a 40 year career, especially if you are making twice as much during those 40 years. you can make pretty good money off of some 2 year degrees, but those tend to be "fad" jobs that are booming now but will be paying 30k 10 years down the road once everyone jumped on the bandwagon to do it

You should also consider not just the wage, but the number of jobs available.  For example being a CEO of a top 100 company pays A LOT, but there are only 100 such jobs, so just knowing the average salary is very misleading.  In highly desired jobs, the salary can be high, but the competition is huge.  Get lots of good experience along the way and work at good resume content!

My goal in every position I have taken is to stay at least 18 months in a position.  However, if the pay is that good (and has good benefits), I'd stick it out until you find something that is a solid step in the direction you want to head in!

Ask advice from those who are around your same age, same goals, dreams, etc.  Take awhile and find out if its what "YOU" really want to do, and can you do your best at it and be  successful at it in the future?

It depends on what the work actually is. For me, if I enjoy the work, that is much more important than pay and benefits. I do want a salary that will allow me to provide for my family, and a little more for saving and "fun money", but I'm not looking to get rich from work. More is better, but it is not as important to me as the actual work is.

30 isn't any different than 20 other than you are 10 years smarter,and age is what you make it. You are as young as you feel so make it count everyday.

There are several people in my organization who are only 17, and are making more than $100 a day.  Everything is done on the internet, and no-one asks your age.\n\nThis is something you could get started now, and would continue to be a suppliment to your main career indefinitely.  It could even replace your day job in the future and help you to retire really really early!\n\nEmail me if you are interested in my specific organization, or find reliable sources for several of those types of jobs at this site.
