<p>A lot of graduates are curious about how much each field/profession earns so when I came across this article on parade I thought it is a great slideshow giving examples of real salaries. It breaks each candidate down by age, occupation and location. Worth a look. Has 100+ samples</p>
<p>Interesting link! I was particularly surprised by how high the astrologer’s salary was.</p>

<p>does anyone know if the money is standardized? I mean $120K in NYC is not the same as 120K in some rural town in Wisconsin. I think they really should have really considered that (assuming they didn’t standardize it).</p>
<p>A number of universities have career surveys of recent graduates which can give a hint about placement into jobs and grad school, and pay for those who found jobs. Some examples:</p>
<p>[UC</a> Berkeley](<a href=“https://career.berkeley.edu/]UC”>https://career.berkeley.edu/)
[Cal</a> Poly San Luis Obispo](<a href=“http://www.careerservices.calpoly.edu/gradsurvey/]Cal”>http://www.careerservices.calpoly.edu/gradsurvey/)
[Georgia</a> Tech](<a href=“Georgia Tech | External Redirect Landing Page”>Georgia Tech | External Redirect Landing Page)</p>
<p>IB is not standard across the boarder. Your state matters. </p>
<p>Also, those numbers listed are total compensation. Your base isn’t going to be 150k.</p>
