[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those numbers are probably skewed by people who deliberately go into low paying fields because of interest (publishing, fashion etc.) or go into public sector non-profit work.

Most of my friends who graduated my year were making $65K [i]immediately after[/i] undergrad. By 2-3 years out many (if not most) were brushing up against 100K. 5-6 years out of college most of us are making in the 200K region.

I think it's very true that if you go into a private sector, for profit career where basically the only goal is to make money, you've definitely screwed up if you're only making 100k.[/quote]
Link to that claim?

The poster pointed out that even at MIT, where the average salary is the highest (not too many fashion designers and publishing agents coming out of there), five years out is still only $90,000. Nice anecdotal evidence about you and your friends, but talk of it being typical to earn to earn $100k by age 23 or 24 and $200k by age 26 or 27 is the crazy elitist attitude that shows the rest of the country how out-of-touch Washingtonians are.
