what is your expected salary?

<p>Major is PetrE. Id say I can snag a starting salary somewhere between 70,000 and 100,000 depending on how I do in school and how well the industry is doing when I graduate.</p>

22

<p>Major is underwater basket weaving</p>

<p>Salary: Michael Jackson’s magical glove.</p>

23

<p>Financial Analyst/Trader/CFO - I’d be happy with any of these positions, that is after I acquire an MBA from Business School</p>

<p>Hopefully a starting salary of around 80-100k, maybe eventually help run my mom’s multi million investment firm</p>

24

<p>I guess I don’t really care too much, but I do want to be able to afford an apartment AND groceries. I also want a nice car before I’m too old to get in it. I figure that $40,000 will suit me well if I don’t live in a big city, but these things are always relative. In Ohio, $40,000 is a lavish income for a recent grad, and I could very easily live in Ohio on that salary. In New York, I wouldn’t have quite as much buying power.</p>

25

<p>Career: Physical Therapy</p>

<p>Expected Salary: 60,000 starting salary, then 90,000+ later on hopefully.</p>

26

<p>I just want enough money to have a roof over my head, bread in my bowl, and shoes on my feet. </p>

<p>And of course, ESPN and computer access.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>We can see why you didn’t major in math or finance. Almost no one makes $500,000,000+ and I’m pretty sure 0% of them majored in Art History. :p</p>

28

<p>If I become a dentist, $150,000.</p>

<p>I guess some find it more difficult than others to detect sarcasm…</p>

30

<p>yeah, you.</p>

31

<p>^
sensible comment…</p>

32

<p>you called out someone’s inability to detect sarcasm in reference to a post where there was no sarcasm (regardless of whether they were actually telling the truth)… IE you ARE that person that cannot detect sarcasm</p>

33

<p>buck up kids there’s no need to fight.</p>

34

<p>Anyway, back on topic…I’ll probably make 30-45K out of grad school. (Education)</p>

35

<p>I’d like to make 60k. I think anything more than 40k would be a struggle.</p>

36

<p>I believe my starting salary will be around 60k. Possibly 70k. That’s not including benefits, etc etc. I could live super happily on that easily… lol. In 10 years, I hope to make 100k a year which should be easily reachable in the medical field.</p>

37

<p>Major: Pharmacy</p>

<p>Right out of college … (and depending on where I go)</p>

<p>Retail (your local Walgreens, CVS): $100-$125,000
Industry (JnJ, Pfizer, etc): ~$80,000</p>

38

<p>Realistically, I’m going to be a kajakaquillillionaire. Which is like a zillionaire, but far richer.</p>

<p>Of course, there’s the likely chance that my earnings will be in Monopoly play money.</p>

39

<p>i think 50k is pretty comfortable to live with</p>

40

<p>

</p>

<p>Depends on where and your lifestyle/indebtedness.</p>

<p>I’m aiming for $60K starting in mechanical engineering, maybe a little more if I can finish a master’s in 5 years as well. Hopefully my salary will peak around $100-120K, but who knows with inflation.</p>
