[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that so many undergrads have an expectation to make $100K is much more concerning than what field a particular student should pursue. Truly highlights how out of touch people are. [/quote]

They are not out of touch - look at what rent costs. They are all worried about how they are going to afford to live. They are wondering if they will ever be able to buy a house. These young people are not just entitled jerks. When I graduated from college in the mid 2000s, I was able to rent a room in a shared house on the hill and my share of the rent was $850. The whole 3bd/2ba house was $2,500/mo. Houses in that block are now renting for $6,000/mo. They are looking at the cost of living and realizing that they need to start out making $100k if they have any hope of building a decent middle class life in this region. [/quote]
My kid lives in a 4br/4ba off campus apt, mostly college students, but not limited to just college students.  They pay $1100 per month, with a gym, a pool, volleyball courts, etc.

Young people can live fine making under $100K, especially those just out of college.

Sure, if you live in a hcol like NYC or the Bay Area, you'll need six figures, but that's the choice you make to live in such a hcol. And I used to live in the Bay Area.[/quote]
