Road to 150k+

Hi I’m a student studying civil engineering.

Reading this sub makes me question if I should have been more ambitious in the career path I chose. It’s not all about money to me but I do want a life style where I can help my family, not worry about money and afford to travel.

Is it possible to make 150k or more in this field after 5-6 yrs? I’m willing to put in hard work. Just curious if anyone has been able to achieve this or if I picked a career with too low of a ceiling for what I want. MCOL btw
