Aircraft engineering, self employed. Big bucks, and fairly easy to get in to if you have a bit of determination.
In fact, any engineering is good money as long as there's work about.
Well I failed to win the green card lottery again. They say its randomly picked but i'm not convinced. I never have any luck with anything, I can't even seem to win £1000, then I know a person who actually won for the lottery twice. Sickening.
Honestly i'm not asking for a billionaire lifestyle, i'd be happy enough with a £200,000 salary per year. It is sickening how some people just walk into it without doing anything.
Owen, no job out there will pay you £200k a year, unless you're a heart surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital or the Mayo Clinic.

But £200k a year is highly unrealistic for an employee, even engineer. Our doctors here, the most highly paid in the world, the best ones make £200k a year. You'd have to be a specialist M.D. or senior level management to make that much or own your own successful business

There are alot of rich people in this world though. Its not like theres only 2 millionaires in the whole country. I actually live next door to a person who is worth double figures, they have a house in Canada, Switzerland, Chelsea and Spain. They are only here for the summer.
In NI I would say maybe 1 in 40 people are millionaires. The hilarious thing is that alot of them walk around in crappy clothes and drive really awful cars. Its quite funny.

There are 115,000 people in the UK earning more than £100,000, and 3 million earning more than £52,000. Anyone earning more than £100,000 a year is in the top 1% of income earners - that equates to only one person for every 250 workers. It's really not that much.
Millionaires are probably defined by assets. Someone living in a nice neighborhood on Long Island (suburb of NYC) home values of $600,000+ is common. A married couple owning a house in that neighborhood earning $150,000 (two salaries) who is carefully enough to save some of their earnings could easily end up with a $1 million in assets once their older. Having a single $200,000 salary is harder.
Hell, I'd be happy right now if I made 30-40 K a year. Enough to be independent is all I need. Not sure how much that is in Euros though.
