Starting salaries with a BA in DC

[Anonymous]

Wondering what new college grads can expect as an entry level salary. Not for nurses, engineers, accountants, tech, Ivy leaguers going to Wall Street, but for basically unskilled general people with a basic liberal arts or business degree from a typical college.

It depends on the job/industry. Without detail on this it’s hard to say.

Look up the salary of 1st year public school teachers in the relevant county, and never accept lower than that.

Why didn't they get a BS?

I think there’s a difference between a general liberal arts degree and a general business degree. Assuming kid is not connected, 45k-55k for liberal arts grad, 60k-70k for business grad.
