I tried to Google what the average salary is by age (or age range) in Houston is but didn't find any luck.

Anyone know where I can find this data for Houston or maybe the US in general.

I'm a 30 year old (damn I'm old...)

33k for me at that time in education. 90 thousand is waaaay higher than average for anyone regardless of age. The aveage for a family of three in Houston is about 48,000. This includes college or no college. I think TimBomb is in IT if I remember correctly. His salary should be higher than average.

The average for a family of three in Houston is about 51,000 if I'm not mistaken.

People don't get paid by age, they get paid by degrees.

I guarantee that a 20 year old petroleum engineer makes more than a 60 year old bus driver.

It does depend on your industry, and skill level.

At 30, I was making $120k. Not hard to break 6 figs in houston especially if you're in a job related to the oil and gas sector or in professional services/consulting.

That will be very hard to find.
I would atleast want to know the average salary for an individual in Houston.

Age is just a number.
