Lately I've been meeting a lot of early 20s professionals making 100k+ in a relatively low cost of living city (Atlanta). I didn't realize how common it is now.
if they are from the same social circle it is normal... birds of a feather and all
if one makes $100k, most of his co workers would to, and they in turn would form part of his circle.

That does not mean it is common, it simply means that you are running into people who are doing well. We can also all name multiple twenty-something college grads working in retail for less than $10.00 an hour.
I don't know many in their 20s with six figure incomes. They're out there, but will probably be rare outside of major markets.
I agree. In Silicon Valley, California area and New York City you will see some early 20s people making that but that salary is like $50-60k in normal cost of living areas.
All of the people I went to high school with are making in the $50-70k range except one guy who is 25 years old and is a pharmacist. He makes $120k. OP, should of went to pharmacy school if you wanted 6 figures in your early 20s. I regret not going to pharmacy school myself when I found out how the job market is for chemists now.
Professional is an over used term that now seemingly includes everything from doctor to fast food worker. You'll need to be a bit more specific.
have college degree (or graduate degree) and work a white collar job. I thought that was the standard definition of professional?
