[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are plenty of people in this area who graduated with highly marketable degrees and have been earning good incomes since they were in their 20's.  Some of these people are dual income couples and they can afford to have some extras..

Exactly. Even two modest incomes of [b]$150k a year per person - which is pretty much one or two steps above entry level professional[/b] adds up to $300K. If even one of the parents "makes it" and goes into the $200-$300K range, suddenly HHI hits $400-$500.[/quote]

huh?  What planet are you living on?  I mean seriously. 
This type of thinking blows my mind.

We pay our entry level (undergrad) employees about $80K. One level up from there gets you about $90 to $110K. Another level up gets you $130 - $170. Next level up gets you $200 to $250, next level jumps to $300 to $400, next level goes to $600 to $800. Most people hit $150 within 4 to 5 years out of undergrad. A lot get stuck there. Some don't. I have a 26 year old on my team who is in the $200 to $250 range. All pretty normal at my company..... maybe my company is weird. [/quote]

yes, that is the norm.  everyone makes $750K ....  :roll: [/quote]

I didn't say everyone does. A good 20% top out at the $150k spot, maybe 50% top out at 250, 90% at the next level....

Point is starting salaries for undergrads are solid and hitting $100k with 1 to 2 years of graduation isn't remarkable at all. [/quote]
