Recalibrate your definition of a lot and you'll find something great (ie, try for top 1 pct globally vs in the US). Evil and bullshit jobs pay the most, it's the way the world works
SM1, brilliant! Posts like yours are rare.
Here are some ideas:
1. Go to med school and specialize in neurosurgery. This is the highest paid specialty with the upper end being close to a million.
2. Create a business that addresses a need in society but also makes money. “Useful” can mean many things. What is a pain point that ordinary people have -can you provide a solution?
3. Create a business that addresses a need in sustainability/green living and one that can scale.
4. Become a “personality” of some sort, but one that helps people in some way. Write books/do podcasts/do speaking tours. Become popular enough and it can get you to the 1M goal.
5. Consider a life partner -if they are bringing in a good salary themselves then this closes the gap somewhat on that 1M.
6. 1M annually is usually attained from starting a successful business. Outside of company executives, there really aren’t many jobs that pay this annual base. To get to these numbers you usually have to create a business or be a celebrity of some sort. Best of luck!
1. Not happening, my grades in college weren’t good enough
2/3. These could be good options
4. I don’t consider this as being useful to society
5. I would hope that my partner can do all 3 of these things as well, but combining incomes would help
6. Looks like the C-Suite is the place to be
My wife’s a doctor, checks all those boxes.
You can do something useful for society while being a strategic advisor. Is a practical approach, you make your McKinsey $$ over time and then invest in noble causes (no sending checks in the mail or funding some gofundme type of thing ), I’m talking about starting a not for profit, giving some of your time to be on the ground with an organization doing things you feel truly passionate about.
A PE’s Impact fund?
OP, your post tells me you are onto something good. Your answers tell something else though - terribly disturbing and you are not likely to be happy in life. But keep working on it. Do not give up. You will get there. It takes time.
Start a VC firm with serious impact.
A job? Rewards may not be there for the efforts because of that top 1%. But who knows?
