Nice graph and tracking. As some others have stated I would agree that this is an abnormally high salary at that age. When I was 26 I can only think of one person I knew personally making over $100,000 and now I have several friends who make seven figures a year at 40, but none of them were even at $100k at 26!

I went to a private top 30 engineering school back in early 2000’s…stated cost was $31k/yr back then, but between scholarships/grants/etc. It came out to about $10k per year, so $40k total. Made more than that first year out.
