Wow that's pretty good.
Are you gonna further your education, like go for a bachelors in some kind of engineering, or are you "satisfied" with where you are rightnow--financially and educationally speaking?

i graduated 3 years ago.
its one thing to say 30k is the average. its another to say people are straight up LYING if they say they got more than 20-30k out of college.

I majored in History and Economics
My first job paid 40k per year and it was as a securities analyst and economist. My specialities are analyzing long term corporate and municipal bonds anddoing conceptual/long range reports on political economy, particularly health care legislation.
It is a pretty sweet job and pay considered this terrible job market, the work environment is cool and while most of the people there are older and rag on mefor being the "new kid," (when I was talking about 30 year bonds that were coming to maturity, they joked that those bonds are older than me whatwould I know about them) but they respect my abilities at what I do and I gain a lot of valuable advice from veteran investors, who have dealt with a widevariety of assets over many business cycles.

I've never heard of an Engineer who made 20-30K starting
Per your own link http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos027.htm#earnings
Average starting salary offers for graduates of bachelor's degree programs in engineering, according to a July 2009 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, were as follows:
Petroleum $83,121 Chemical 64,902 Mining and Mineral 64,404 Computer 61,738 Nuclear 61,610 Electrical/electronics and communications 60,125 Mechanical 58,766 Industrial/manufacturing 58,358 Materials 57,349 Aerospace/aeronautical/astronautical 56,311 Agricultural 54,352 Bioengineering and biomedical 54,158 Civil 52,048
How you get corrected by your own source though?
20-30k? No engineering majors are studying on Friday/Saturday nights to earn a damn 30k
