So I found some of my old tax documents and figured I’d map what the income trajectory has been like for me since I started working at 16. I often held 2-3 jobs at a time before moving into a nonprofit career, before deciding I was tired of the constant stress of paying rent and moved to the private sector.

Moving to full time work with an undergrad degree 3-4x’d my income.
Moving from jobs to a career tripled it.
Moving to the private sector doubled that again.
Leveling up to senior increased by about 50%.
