I honestly have no clue why you think people are lying. A couple yearly salaries were surprisingly high but the majority fell into range.

+1 You should be proud of the young generation and happy that they can afford to pay your social security. So many insecure, jealous, bitter old people here who want everyone else to be more miserable and start poor.

I really don’t think majors matter that much in non-stem fields (and even some stem fields). And undergrad institution stops mattering after the top 20 or so. You think anyone cares whether you graduated from California University at Northridge or University of Illinois at Springfield?

Too many parents want their kids to join the rat race immediately out of college and there’s no reason. No future employer or graduate program will ever see their experiences as anything but a plus.

They’ll all join us in mortgages, health insurance premiums, retirement contributions, long commutes, and societal expectations soon enough. Hell, they’re only 22!

I did this in the early 90’s. Taught in Japan and traveled all over Asia. I had incredible experiences and made life long friends. After returning to the US, most of my friends hadn’t really done much. No regrets.

Right. Most kids right out of school are still trying to figure out life and working a boring job. Many will go back to graduate school. So, why not explore the world when you’re 22?

My nephew graduated from an Ivy and played minor league baseball for three years. He traveled all over the country, played and was coached by guys he never would have met in his sheltered life, worked his butt off for pennies, and got to play baseball (his dream). He settled into a great job when he “retired”. Even my brother and SIL, who footed the bill for that Ivy education encouraged him to do it while he he could.

Then he married an heiress and lived down the street from me.

Ha ha! No. He’s engaged to a nurse and makes a good living at his career.

That is so cool! I used to love to go to minor league games when I lived in a small city.
