I have to admit I'm sceptical. An engineer and a pharmacist with a combined income of $85000 in 2006 seems extremely improbable. I know pharmacists that graduated in 1995 and walked into 100K+ jobs immediately. The low paid engineer I get ;). And how'd they pay off the 48K in student debt?

The pharmacist may not be working full-time.

Good point, however, that should probably be stated in the article if that's the case.

Another possibility is that the 85k figure is after tax. Given tax rates in CA, that would be more in line with your expectations.
