I could make more but i like my job.

Depends on your location bro, I am in the midwest and for the engineering field I am in (RF Design) I would have a hard time finding work at my base of 85K. I have been doing this for almost ten years. Stock options and bonuses can add a hefty amount in good years. About 5 years ago many guys left the Corp I work for and took 6 figure jobs around cali and texas. I only know of 2 that are still employed. East coast and west coast have the best $$, but unless it is a defense contractor, and even then, you never know how long it will last.
