I dont know what to tell you.
I havent seen $510K, but I have a number of Nurses as clients who are close to touching ~$300K.
But I can tell you from interacting with them...in my experience, they're not doing it on purpose and its not fun.
I've never asked the question bluntly, but from inference? I'd bet most of them would rather earn $100k/year over 10-20 years than $300-$500K/per year over 2 or 3.
Because after that its likely a complete and total burnout.
I distinctly remember my one client who is a Nurse, and an immigrant from Belarus, who made just shy of $300K this year and she looked and spoke like she was about to drop dead.
Its not all pushing paper and spinning in office chairs. A good number of my nurse clients made TONS of money over the last couple years, but its not always by choice.
That amount of work and OT is BRUTAL.
Its not good for their patients and aside from the money, its not good for the Nurses either.
It reminds me of an old client I used to have many years ago, I havent spoken to him in forever, but he had connections on off-shore oil rigs and his plan was to just make as much money as possible and then call it.
He made something like $4 million before he was 24. Just....pure work.
Yeah, everyone wants to get rich, but doing it by grinding out hours? It'll catch up to you.
This kid did it, but his hands looked like he masturbated a wood-chipper and he walked like he'd done 10 rounds with every gangster in Compton.
It looks flashy on a Tax Return or a news article but there are some serious drawbacks.
