About 70% of them are talking crap, or enacting some kind of bizarre fantasy life on this forum. Otherwise, this forum would be the ultimate hotspot since it would be populated by Generals, Directors, and Chairpersons.
The remaining 30% who post high salaries are genuinely trying to be helpful by pointing out lobangs. Software engineers, for example, really are riding on a high right now.
It's best to remember that salaries in certain jobs fluctuate. Cartographers, for example, could easily make 11k a month back in the early 90's, thanks to the sudden rise of competing GPS companies. Today it's plummeted to about 5k, less than half that amount.
Sometimes it's not the job itself; it's a question of being in the right profession at the right time. Network engineers in the 80's, local musicians in the late 60's, local journalists in the 70's, will all know what I'm saying.
If you really need to chase money (out of necessity and not greed), pay attention to the lobangs that some of the high earners are pointing out. That's where you want to switch your job to. Just make sure you're listening to the 30%, and check it out first.
