I'm a student but that's not really relevant to how much I earn so I didn't put myself in that category. I'm one of the "lucky" ones who has a well paying job and is eligable for full student alowance (possibly could be my maturity). So I tend not to struggle too much for a student. I don't know how some survive though...don't get me started on the injustices of student allowance!!

SW Sales Manager, Auckland base, Global territory (read "works day and night - when not on kb")

Degree qualified, + time in industry + right person at the right time when the job came up.

Use the philosophy that the best time to find a job is when you don't need one... so they have to induce you into the one they're offering (read PAYRISE and more holidays).

I look after the technical side of marketing for the Carter Holt (Sorry, Graeme Hart

) pulpmills south of Tokoroa and at Kawerau. I'm a mechanical engineer and also have a post-grad qual in Quality Systems, but blundered into marketing 4 years ago when I got pissed off with being continuously called out in the middle of the night on maintenance issues. Doors just opened at the right time in my career and I think that's the secret. If you set your sights too narrow, there are all sorts of external influences that will stuff your plans up.

Additional notes...
1) Work your arse of when you need to...
2) I'm more than happy to help others reach this income level too. It's actually not hard if you're willing to put in the hard yards to start with - an education, and a career plan.

How can you do that without a source of income...?

Maybe one has enough capital to have a comfortable life. The source of income can come from investing your existing capital and receiving interest and/or capital gains on your investments.
