Conditional on having spent a few years on wall street, that is not a high salary at all. I have had better years when times were good.
You'd probably also need to make that statement conditional on living in the years 2004-2007 or maybe the late 90s for equities. Realistically, anyone should be happy to earn $300-400K/year for a job that doesn't require much more than a good school listed on your resume and a tolerance for drudgery and long hours. It doesn't look to me like we're going back to the heydays of finance anytime soon, if ever.
