<p>Since when did money matter? Maybe it’s just me, but as long as I have food, clothes, shelter and a computer, I’m fine.</p>
<p>Maybe it’s the Music Major in me that knows I’m going to make chicken poop out of college.</p>

<p>No, you’re not. I have the same outlook. I think many rising college seniors just want a decent paying job after college in this economy crisis.</p>
<p>From my understanding, most who attend college ( four year university) earns at least 100,000+ a year, and those who attend graduate school succesfully earn leastly ( average) 175,000+.</p>

<p>Ofcourse, you will find those who attend a community college ( 2 year degree) to earn around 30-45,000. When I gave the average statistics in my post above 138, I was talking about those attending a university well known/ respected… usually ranked by USNEWS.</p>
<p>It says the average bachelor’s recipient makes $54,000 and the average master’s recipient makes $67,000.
How you pulled an associates out of that is beyond me.</p>
<p>You said “most who attend college,” people graduating from Harvard does not equal “most who attend college.” Frankly, it just sounds like “your understanding” is incorrect.</p>

<p>Most of you kids are in for a rude awakening when you graduate. Nationally, about 25% of Americans have at least a Bachelor’s degree. Only 5% of Americans period make over 100K per year. You are not likely, even in the most expensive of locales, to find a job that will pay you 100K/year mid career, much less immediately after graduation. No employer is going to pay over 50K/year for an entry level employee with only a four year degree.</p>
<p>With a 100K yearly salary, you have to provide the employer multiple times more in value in terms of services. Simply graduating from a “top school” with a Bachelor’s will not provide this value.</p>

<p>bahahahah. My boss has a ph.d in immunology and makes 90k a year. And I live in a major US city where cost of living is high. What world are you living in, kid?</p>
<p>I stopped reading this thread because it’s gotten so outrageous, but I just had to respond one last time. I can’t believe what some people think is a decent yearly salary or what the norm is. From now on I’m staying the hell away and hanging out with my friends, who just graduated from some top schools and are currently unemployed.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>no offense, but you are flat out wrong.</p>
<p>This question could only be asked on CC. Top grads from Ivies (like top 10 from each school) in a good market can land jobs in finance that pay 100k. Top investment banking analysts out of undergrad, in a good market, can have bonuses that put their salaries above 100k. Those people comprise the best business minded undergrads from the best schools in the country. Like the top 0.5% of undergrads, if that many. Some other kids will start a company and sell it for a lot of money.</p>
<p>You then have people who graduate from top MBA and Law programs who earn over 100k coming out of school. Their ages range from 24 to 30+. </p>
<p>This type of thing only works for CC because it’s CCers who aim for these schools and these programs. If you were the top kid at Wharton you would be disappointed if you didn’t get a job starting at 75K and the opportunity to get up to 100k with bonuses.</p>
<p>This doesn’t hold true for the majority of Americans because most people don’t go Ivy undergrad and/or Ivy grad. I don’t think it even holds true for the majority of kids at top schools to make 100k after getting out of undergrad. For some of these nuts on this website though, they see it as their reward for studying 24/7 for 16 years.</p>
<p>Well the asset management industry generally has very high salaries (above 100K), and they’re generally offered to people who’ve had 1-3 years of investment banking experience. So technically not right our of college but very close indeed:</p>

<p>The smaller the firm, the better the salary potential. Large firms stifles your creativity and work ethic. Smaller firms allows you to reap the full rewards of your hard work.</p>
<p>augustuscaesar… how many of those people get hired every year, do you think? And I would bet that most of the ones that do get hired have graduate degrees.</p>
<p>question for those in the know, isn’t the business of hedgefunds EXTREMELY risky? As in a manager could be insanely rich, but one could also go broke in the business…</p>
<p>^
No. </p>

<li><p>They get a fixed salary of about $200K regardless of their performance. Although most of their money is made from the multimillion bonuses based on performance. </p></li>
<li><p>That’s why they pay people so much to not make it go bankrupt.</p></li>

<p>No I am a nurse… I expect it…PS Business is a dime a dozen</p>

Business is as general as “science”. Whereas finance is more like “nurse”.</p>
<p>Business is easy, stuff like derivatives arbitarge is really tough.</p>
<p>wow I’m relieved that my starting salary will be around $80,000 right after I graduate pharmacy!</p>

<p>How would attending PSU-UP help one with job, internship and graduate school admission? I’ve been told by mainly everyone ( speaking mostly of cc users) it’s the largest student workforce, and students there only leave with +'s.</p>
<p>I’m expecting to get $70,000 plus after I graduate with a poly sci. degree. Hopefully after I get my masters alittle after, I’ll be at $100k+ by the time I’m 25-26.</p>
