This is a pretty cool infographics. The over 200K tier is dominated by health care professionals, and airline pilots.

Surprised to see lawyers in the same bucket as software developers. 
There are a lot of diploma mill law schools turning out sub par lawyers. Now CA wants to waive the bar requirement, so they can all practice law.
I don’t want to pay people that are “practicing” anything. I will only pay those who have already perfected their craft.
For the Wall Street Journal, Joe Pinsker reports on income and happiness, or more specifically, on the raises people said they needed to be happy. The more people have the more they need.
Bad news. If you make over 200K, you need to make 150K more to be happy.
The least miserable income band seems to be the 100-149K range. You only need to make an extra 15K or so to be happy.
Maybe the moral of the story is you will never be happy.
