This is such a bogus article. I think Mr. Pum-uck was probably having a bad day, maybe had his as whopped by his wife the night before. First those salary ranges maybe true but its about how much risk is involved. Mutual-fund managers, airline pilots etc are very high profile and high-stress jobs. Why did he forget to mention the money hauled in by religious leaders, and cops in affluent neighbourhoods. In Long Island, NY I heard the salaries for police officers are in 6 figures. As for real estate agents, any job in sales pays well, if you are good at it.
