Myself, i make some pretty good money as a jeweler myself at 18 (see a pattern?)
Then there is another friend i have, hes at 17 who also oversees a big shipping operation for a big medical company constantly shipping to china, i don't know how much he makes but its most defiantly more then me and you.
You always hear about teenagers making minimal wage but there's a few who are making enough money to be full lifetime jobs, its mostly luck and knowing how to talk.

Interesting. I have a friend in the jewelry business and I was under the impression a diamond setter does NOT make 130k a year (2k/week after taxes). Unless I misunderstood you, I don't see how he gets 2k a week as a diamond setter. 2k a month yes I can see that.

Edit: I see someone beat me to it. I am also an engineer, 4 years for a B.S. and working on my M.S. while working full time in the defense industry.
I also see that you are in NY, most jobs I have looked at in the southern part of the state while paying good, are extremely competitive, you need great experience, the right education, or know the right people, or all three to land great jobs in that area, that could possibly make six figures in your early 20's.
