define good? how much does a cpa make? how much does a plumber make? how much does the average American make? You guys are so stuck on the notion that if you don't make 200k, then you are broke! The regionals do pay good(relatively) and they are stable(after a few years). get a clue. If skyhigh didn't have in-laws helping him(with his business), he'd be running the register at home depot. The guy is full of beans, and it is obvious that he knows that he made a mistake by leaving.

Less than 200K blows. Sure, 60K/yr sounds good when you are 23 and single (Woot! I can buy a car). But, If you want to live in an expensive area (don't want to commute), want a nice house, want to send your kids to college and want to have a chance at a comfortable retirement, you better do something that can bring in 200K/yr.
Of course if you are a hot mama you can always hook up with a guy who makes 200K/yr and life is good.

Maybe you're right, and the pay will never be good at the regionals. Maybe you have also forgotten that no one just starts at the top in this world.

lol, it's funny. My mom makes around 70k/yr, dad makes 80k/yr they have a nice house, two new cars, no credit card debt, or outstanding loans (minus the mortgage) and managed to put me through college minus the last 1800 bux i spent tooling around in a seneca to get a regional job. Amazing that all that could be had on a combined income of 150k/yr....hmmmm.
