What was your starting salary after college?

Don't know why dudes are surprised. State Employees make bank because states/counties are profitable from all the tickets/taxes/licenses etc they collect
 
Bachelors in Economics. Investment banking analyst. 70k salary + 70k bonus. Lifestyle sucks but hopefully just two years and I'll be making way more with less hours.

Edit: ~18k student debt. Went to what was basically a community college for two years so that helped.
If you don't mind me asking, what school did you go to?

Also how did you break in? I'm a freshman in college planning on transferring to another school, what is your advice for someone trying to get into investment banking?
 
That jailers license is something serious.
Bruh, I have a LT who makes as much as my chief, the dude pulls 90+ hour weeks tho. He just got divorced and said if he's just gonna sit at home, he might as well be making as much money as possible. Easily brings in $150K.

This.

But here in Vegas, it's opposite... The County/City department makes more than the State department.

Also add our Casinos' revenue to our budget.

that revenue has been falling at a constant rate for several years.

I still dont agree with your salaries.

Teachers start off at 48k with education

Most PDs only require a diploma.

I understand the job has it's dangers, but eh, I don't care for the salary schedules we OK for cops in this country.

You can knock the system if you want.... I won't! That's MY bread!

There are a lot Golfers, Basketball/Baseball players...ect. that make more than Doctors, Scientists and the President.

I make around $36-38k as a hydroponic greenhouse manager. It's not much, but my first job out of school and I had very little experience before I was hired. The congressman in my county only pulls in around $29k I think

Graduated with an economics degree in 2013

Comparing Apples and Oranges. 

Not everyone can play professional sports...Any dolt with a high school diploma can become a cop.

You realize doctors in other countries make sub 100k a year, right?

You guys aren't worth the 100k plus salaries you take in.
 
Key word: Other countries.

In this Country, in this state. We do. Like I said, complain all you want because I won't.

FYI, you come off ignorant saying anyone can just become a PO/CO.

You know how many recruits I've trained, how many people I've seen quit on the first week after Academy because they weren't mentally built to deal with what they saw go down on the streets or how to deal with inmates on prison/jails.

Also you make it seem I'm bringing home $100k+ off the bat... Nobody in this department is making that bread without overtime or unless you been on the department 15+ years (longevity)

~Around 40K for me, living in Kansas City. Definitely easy to live off that in Kansas City...I work for a major sports company and majored in Sports Management at KU.
 
When applied for my internship it was a 4.0. Since banks usually hire around 85-90% of their full-time class from their internship class, that GPA was the only one that really mattered. Graduated with a 3.75 though.

How do they tax your bonuses?

Nobody pays to watch a doctor doctor.

People pay to watch Lebron Lebron.
 
Bonuses and OT are generally taxed higher I believe and it's in part because it is considered an add'tl pay period.
true.

i always though you were taxed as if you got that each pay period...

for instance...

if you get 10k bonus..

its as if you get 10k every check, so you're taxed as if you make 260k a year.

yeah, it's something to that effect...so if you don't want it to be taxed as high you could change your exemptions prior to help offset some of that I believe.
 
In an internship I had they adjusted the rate of our relocation stipends to be what they promised after tax. So we were given a relocation bonus of $2000, but the check for it was like $2600+ something.
