To be honest, if 6 figures is an important number, then I'd recommend a different career choice. There just aren't too many DBA's or BI Ninjas that come right out of the school yard that will get hired at that level. A lot don't make that much even after 5 years experience. Of course, some do but those are the exceptions rather than the rule. Even if you're really good, most shops won't offer that kind of money for less than 5 years of experience.

Now, if the 6 figures is not important and you really do have the analytical mind you claim to have, this can be an absolutely awesome job. Shoot, it's so much fun for me that not only is it my job, but it's a hobby, as well.
