It will take me 16 years of training after college before I make that much...

If I spend my entire career with the Army I will never even make that much. Salary for DB-04 (our version of GS-15) caps out at $155,000 with locality pay for the DC area. I barely make a little over half of that. Yet, the benefits are pretty agreeable.

I guess I also can't complain too much though, my girlfriend is a Ph.D.-level therapist and makes barely half what I do (and incurred around 3x the amount in student loans for her education as well).
