<p>If I do well enough in terms of GPA, I should start out with ~50/60,000. I don’t see why a single person living on their own would need any more than that.</p>
<p>Since I’m a nursing major, ~40k right out of school, maybe a bit more since I plan on having more experience than most since I’ll have my RN license after my 3rd year of school rather than after my 4th so I can work part time senior year.</p>
<p>I hope to make around $50,000 starting as a nurse ($40,000/yr? Where the hell do you live?).</p>
<p>I want to go straight through to my PhD, so hopefully $60,000-$75,000. If I were to work right out of Stanford, $30,000 would be plenty.</p>
<p>I hope to get some kind of entry level production job at a TV station, either in-state or somewhere regional. I’m really not sure yet what I expect because I have no way of knowing what kind of opportunities will come my way! </p>
<p>I imagine I’ll start at somewhere around $28-32K. I really don’t know, and I’ve never been too concerned with money as far as this career goes. If I was I’m probably not in the right major! Lol!</p>
<p>well…since Im planning on going to medical school after college, there is a chance that I might not have a job. But just in case I didnt get accepted into medical school and have to work for a while (hopefully that doesnt happen), I’ll probably make between the range of $30-$40 thousand, which is just fine with me since I will probably be living at home.</p>
<p>After medical school and resident, I expect to have a starting salary of $200,000 if I get into anesthesiology</p>
<p>~$57k as a Big 4 Accountant (I will have my BS and MS in accounting by then)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Upstate NY. The average starting salary in NYS is 50k, and Upstate, salaries usually aren’t on the high end.</p>
<p>I plan to make 65-70K as my starting salary as a software engineer (Yes this is realistic - at my current internship I make the equivalent of a 65K/year salary)</p>
<p>I’m Materials Science and Engineering, and I was shooting for between 50 and 60k, or 60 and 70k if I had to live in a big city. I’m living in a cheap area and making 53k, so I consider it a success.</p>
<p>I would be satisfied with a starting annual salary of $69,000. Remember I stated starting!</p>
<p>80k coming out of Law School</p>
<p>Engineering. I do have a job offer with $53k, (which is average here) but I’m kinda thinking about grad school…</p>
<p>Feasibly around $60k+ with a 30-60k bonus on top of that.</p>
<p>I’m expecting around 70k and around the same for bonuses so around 150k total. Im going to go into investment banking, most likely at a bulge bracket firm. Finance major. Kelley School of Business IU</p>
<p>I want to make a salary that will allow me to make at least what the average American makes and up.</p>
<p>However, I don’t want to be so rich that I think that I get into an attitude of thinking that I’m better than everybody that isn’t as rich as me. (dunno if you get what I’m getting at). If I do become rich though, hopefully I’ll remember to give to people who need it (like people in Haiti) since I’ll have plenty to survive on.</p>
<p>$160,000/year Biglaw</p>
<p>Right out of college? If I do start working right after college (i.e. no MBA or JD, both of which I’m considering) I would like to work at a major financial firm. Probably an analyst position. I think I could make in excess of $60k, if I manage to get one of those positions - a big if.</p>
<p>I’ve been contemplating a double major in Computer Science, though, which would change my plans quite a bit (I’m basically a finance major at the moment).</p>
<p>“$160,000/year Biglaw”</p>
<p>I’ve been told that’s pretty typical for patent and intellectual property law… how hard is that go get into?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>My understanding is that as a first year associate, pay won’t vary a whole ton with what you do as long as you’re doing it at one of the more prominent law firms in a city like NY or DC. The difficulty is just in getting the job - you need to be at the very top of your graduating class in law school, for the most part, and landing an internship as a 2L is very important in receiving a job offer. A lot of people argue that you need to go to a top law school, as well, but I reckon that just being at the top of your graduating class (and doing well in your internship) will be enough. The cream will rise to the top</p>
<p>Patent law specifically, though? You need a technical undergrad degree - engineering or hard science. Depending on the specific field you’ll be practicing in, obviously. It’s more difficult to get into patent law than other areas of law because of this. It might be more lucrative, especially once you start bringing in your own work.</p>
