Where?? That's insane. Most I know are making more like $60k and I'm in the Midwest.


I posted this about my kid. The firm is in a large city in the west. She was happy with this offer. I have heard that some big architecture firms in NYC hire new grads for $50,000. That seems crazy to me!

Public schools pay better and he could be making a REAL difference.

My company (in Maryland) is hiring new biology grads (basically lab techs) in the range of $40k-$50k

Friend's son who is a '25 GW grad w/hill experience is starting at $55k in Pennsylvania

Depressing numbers if you ask me
