[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just depends on your degree. I made more than that in 2000 (my second year out of school) with an accounting degree. [/quote] It actually doesn't depend on your degree. It depends on your hustle. At the age of 32, I was making $85,000 a year and was managing three people with an English undergraduate degree. Now, I will admit, at the age of 23, I was making $30K. But I am a hustler, and I'm very talented and professional. It's not the degree. It's how you present yourself, what opportunties you make for yourself, and how you get along with other people. [/quote] Agreed. I made $85k at age 25 with no degree. (I now have a masters and make twice that in a government job.) People who are overly fixated on education as a means to increase salary overlook the fact that scanning your environment for opportunities is more likely to yield results than sitting back and expecting your degree to do the talking.[/quote]
