i thought selling weed was the number one job?
SALARIED
83k for an entry level software engineer? Not.
31k for an entry level salesperson? No way.
55k for an entry level account executive? (i.e. commissioned sales rep. Nope.
Now, things change over the years but not THAT much. I've been employed as all three of these and those numbers are NOT entry level.
well yeah, they be working for da man-
Depends on skill level and potential.
There’s a big difference between an EE from MIT and a CompSci from a state university.
No Engineers. Interesting!!!!!
Project Manager ($57,500)???
Agree, they never heard of EXPERIENCE before? Like to see how that project works out with a grad right out of college.
Concur; It also depends on location.
Engineers are at 75,000.00 to 80,000.00 depending on the major (civil or structural lower than high-end mechanical, nuclear, or electrical; field service in power field starts way above those, but with lots of field work at 84 hour weeks.
But, you see, this was “most popular” degrees - NOT “most profitable” degrees!

The account mgr and account executive numbers must be for non technological products. I see plenty mid 20’s kids making that or more. I broke 6 figures in my mid twenties and that was decades ago

The first one is true. If you happen to land a job, typically following an extensive co-op/intern experience, with a major Silicon Valley software outfit. For example, a friend’s son (we’re in the industry, too) landed a job offer at Facebook with a starting salary up in that range, and a sizable bonus to start. Of course the cost of living around there will gut you unless you like sharing a house with 7 other people.
I believe these amounts are the total compensation, including insurance, commuter benefits, etc.
I am a senior level architect and had a recent graduate come to me looking for his first job. His grades were good, portfolio excellent and was a very good candidate for an entry-level position
The interview went fine until I asked the Magic Question, “What would it take for you to accept a position with my company?”
He responded, “Well. I would like $75,000 to start, health care, 401k if you have it, and access to a company car.”
I pretended to consider this for a moment and then responded, “I think your demands are in line. We can start you at $75,000 with an automatic 10% raise after 6 months. We provide gold-standard health care to all our employees and 100% match on the 401k. We will start you out with a Mercedes C class for the first 6 months, then move you up to the E Class on your 6 month anniversary.”
The applicant could not have been happier and with a huge smile on his face exclaimed, “You’re kidding?!?! Really!?!”
“Of course I’m kidding,” I said, “But you started it.”

I believe you can graduate nursing school in just 2 years rather than 4 if I am not mistaken!! Nurses also work 3 days LONG shifts with 4 days off if you are going to specialize in a particular nursing field you will of course need the extra education, however you could start working after the 2 years and continue your education while working as an RN!!! Nurses are in high demand but you have to have a certain personality to be able to handle the profession, it certainly isn’t for the average person!!!
