Not bad for the early side of "mid-20s".
I did not have a master's degree, nor did I want to pursue one because it became painfully obvious that although geology was a fun major, it wasn't what I wanted to do in life.
Even that being said, those guys probably work a ton of overtime. I know I did...60-70 hour weeks on salary was typical.
