[quote=Anonymous]I graduated in 1989 and 1992 (graduate degree); I married in a couple of years and was never able to move and change jobs to take advantage of the booms. While my salary has gone up, both my husband and I have been affected by graduating in a down cycle for both our specialties and have never fully recovered. On the plus side, we did live in lower cost areas, so had a good, fun life. Living in the DC area is so much harder, but had to make the change for husband's career--now he is earning much more, but housing is so expensive. Since moving here, I feel like we were really passed by the generation who graduated after us--so I have much more sympathy for many of the current crop of graduates; at least there were low paying state government jobs back in 93! In the long run, we would have been better staying in those state jobs with the house we purchased for 100k back in the late 90s. [/quote]
