Ok, I'm looking for some non-judgmental help?

I was sitting here looking up information on salaries for certain college degrees, and at first I saw $150,000 as a median mid-year salary. At first I thought, "Oh, that's nice. I wonder if I could get a job that pays that much." Then as I was staring at the amount, I started thinking, "Wait... salary? $150,000? That's nothing. A salary means I'm still a slave. A better paid slave, but still a slave." I realize how this sounds, and I'm sorry for being this way. But there has got to be a way to make more than that. I'd like millions of dollars. Please don't berate me; I'm well aware of how ridiculous this sounds and how near impossible it is. But I guess my main question is: Do other people feel the same way? If you were to take 1,000 21 year old college students (I'm 21) and show them the webpage I was looking at with the list of salaries, how many out of the 1,000 would have the reaction I had, that $150,000 is chump change? Also, how can I go about making my dream a reality?
