more than 30K with a ba first year?....he sells drugs otherwise it's not happening


vol. realistic

nah son, not every one majors in some sort of business field or graduates with no experience. Pick the right field and get enough experience and you can see stacks.

lol...ba means "bachelor" degree,


like is said 20-30K tops

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

Pretty much, Kakashi has no idea what he's talking about. My brother, fresh out of college, with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, was earning 61k a year.4 years later he is at 92k.

 

[antbanks81]

I graduated in December of '05 and took a marketing specialist position at $35k, moved up to coordinator at $48k a year later.

This is true, medical professions start out a lot higher that your average college grad. One of my sisters is a physicians assistant and made 85kstraight out of college and the other is a dental hygienist and makes about 70k, and we live in ny. Depends on the major.

 

[agold1002]

brother just took a job but they are paying for him to get his masters and all expenses...

he was at the ross business school at michigan and is going to make 70k his first year...parents are very proud seeing they dropped like 250k on school

Has he ever known what he was talking about?

• Education B.A. Business (2001) MBA (2003) - USC
• Starting salary - N/A because I went into sales, your income reflects your efforts/skills
• 2002 income = $73k
• I was a grad student and working, co workers of mine who weren't in grad school were pulling in 6 figures.

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 me for 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 what would 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 wide variety of assets over many business cycles.

40k? Ouch... I hope you live in a cheap area or live at home. I live on my own and don't live that comfortably and I make more than 50k. First year BSFinance. 30k I don't know how people do it. I would have to rent a room somewhere or something.

60k right out of school? what's the point in getting a masters then?

 

[lj0311]

83k May 08 graduate with Bachelors+ Masters, Chemical Engineering.. higher now

 

[jd161616]

Major: Communication w/minor in Journalism
Job: Digital Media (PR/Marketing type work)
Pay: Roughly $44k AFTER TAXES

I live comfortably in Manhattan.

Some of y'all need to remember that if you see a fat $60k starting salary or whatever, you're losing a good chunk of that paycheck to paycheck becauseof various taxes.
