Learn Java, Javascript, and Python, then move to San Francisco. You can pull in a base salary of $150K within 4 years of graduating if you get jobs at hot/popular companies.

That said, due to its high cost of living, $150K isn't that outrageous in San Francisco. You can use online cost of living adjusters to see what the equivalent salary would be in areas you're familiar with.

I was about to say, this is all relative to the location.

Living and making $90k in Atlanta is the equivalent of living and making $150k in San Francisco.

SF was one place I was not counting in that number. :)
