Wow that's pretty good.

Are you gonna further your education, like go for a bachelors in some kind of engineering, or are you "satisfied" with where you are rightnow--financially and educationally speaking?

VOL. I got more than 30k with a BA first year. almost double that.

i graduated 3 years ago.

its one thing to say 30k is the average. its another to say people are straight up LYING if they say they got more than 20-30k out of college.

You're making more than some Ivy League grads right now in NYC. Cheer up.

 

[rexanglorum]

I majored in History and Economics

My first job paid 40k per year and it was as a securities analyst and economist. My specialities are analyzing long term corporate and municipal bonds anddoing conceptual/long range reports on political economy, particularly health care legislation.

It is a pretty sweet job and pay considered this terrible job market, the work environment is cool and while most of the people there are older and rag on mefor being the "new kid," (when I was talking about 30 year bonds that were coming to maturity, they joked that those bonds are older than me whatwould I know about them) but they respect my abilities at what I do and I gain a lot of valuable advice from veteran investors, who have dealt with a widevariety of assets over many business cycles.

I've never heard of an Engineer who made 20-30K starting

.

Per your own link http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos027.htm#earnings

Average starting salary offers for graduates of bachelor's degree programs in engineering, according to a July 2009 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, were as follows:
[table][tr][td]Petroleum[/td] [td]$83,121[/td] [/tr][tr][td]Chemical[/td] [td]64,902[/td] [/tr][tr][td]Mining and Mineral[/td] [td]64,404[/td] [/tr][tr][td]Computer[/td] [td]61,738[/td] [/tr][tr][td]Nuclear[/td] [td]61,610[/td] [/tr][tr][td]Electrical/electronics and communications[/td] [td]60,125[/td] [/tr][tr][td]Mechanical[/td] [td]58,766[/td] [/tr][tr][td]Industrial/manufacturing[/td] [td]58,358[/td] [/tr][tr][td]Materials[/td] [td]57,349[/td] [/tr][tr][td]Aerospace/aeronautical/astronautical[/td] [td]56,311[/td] [/tr][tr][td]Agricultural[/td] [td]54,352[/td] [/tr][tr][td]Bioengineering and biomedical[/td] [td]54,158[/td] [/tr][tr][td]Civil[/td] [td]52,048[/td] [/tr][/table]

How you get corrected by your own source though?
20-30k? No engineering majors are studying on Friday/Saturday nights to earn a damn 30k
