$35,866 starting off increasing every year however...combine that with being bilingual I may get a couple thousand more. Plus I don't plan on starting with a ba i'm going to get my ssp which is a step over masters and only offered in my field of psychology. I also plan on working in a private practice counseling.
Im really not sure ...going to law school and receiving my Juris Doctorate after ungrad...and I havent decided if I actually wanna go into the law as an attorney to ULTIMATELY become a judge or work for the government for the FBI on the administrative side...so it depends on which I decide I definitely wanna do, but from research and whatnot it SAYS I may start around $88,000. That would be nice, but Ima be a realist. We'll see what happens in a few years cause things do change for the BETTER and for the WORSE...
When I'm finished with my illustrious college career, I'm going to gross at least $775,000 for the first three years of my first contract, with a guaranteed 5 year deal (with double the money) after my first contract is up.
I will be stinking rich, because all college students are on the straight and narrow road to monetary freedom.
:???:
How the f--k am I supposed to know? Hopefully I can get this job working for the governments military base in their TV/communications department. They start out at around $35,000, with 2 raises a year (based off of your job performance) and a nice benefits package. It aint what I know....it's who I know. My old next-door neighbor is supposedly putting in a good word for me once my TV news career is over (hopefully soon).
Mine is 32,000. Seems kinda low but I guess it is alright for starters
Nah, that's definitely not bad for starters. Unless you have some slammin' grades or some previous experience, most entry level stuff is gonna put you in the 30s.
Like for instance here in DC, most of the government jobs (DOE, DHS, DOT, DHHS, FBI, DIA, CIA, NSA, etc...) at entry level (GS-5) start you off at like $28,000 and if you have Superior Academic Achievement (3.0 or higher) or a year experience, they'll start you off in the mid 30s (GS-7)
I mean there are definitely ways to come out making more, but most of those involve taking a job either on a salary/commission split, or commission only. Those are cool, but only if you're good at selling people stuff. For instance with Amercian Express Financial Advisors you can easily get up to $60-$70 k when you first start working and 6 -figures a year or two down the line. The thing is you have to be awesome at selling people stuff.. I had three interviews with them a while ago. I was tight on the first two, but on the last one you have to try to set up some financial appointments over the phone, and they have you calling these professional actors who put up some tough resistance, I didn't do well at all. Oh well, I don't like selling people stuff anyway.
But yeah you can make a grip of money if you like sales though, especially in like Financial Services, Real Estate, and Insurance...
lol, I got out of college and I had a hard time finding a job at first so I took a job at a teller at a bank, it was $24,000, but dang my degree cost more than that. But now I'm working as an Associate Analyst and I'm in the $30s now...

That's straight. You can't go anywhere but up! Remember: we'll be working for the next 40 or so years, so starting around 30K sounds pretty damn decent unless the company folds (or worse).
I'm getting around $18K a year at a TV station. Doesn't sound like much, but I aint paying rent just yet. We get a decent benefits package (medical/dental/10 vacation days/5 sick days per year), plus I can have ALL the O.T. I want because I'm not on salary. Now, mind you, I'm only 20 years old, haven't graduated from college yet, and refuse to live on my own until I'm ready to buy a house.
Not bad if you ask me.
A guy that used to live next door to us works out at Redstone Arsenal (goverment job). He's actually a supervisor out there, and he wants me to come work for him whenever I get sick of the tv station. The numbers he threw at me were pretty convincing, too, considering that a tv news job can be so unstable and unguaranteed.
WTF am I waiting on??!
