What world do you live in? 56k for an entry level position is likely the best pay you can get anywhere. I articled back in 2004. I was paid 30K a year.

Working Horrible hours? Welcome to the world of a professional. Most of us work 50-60 hours a week, without overtime, with the only payout for that effort being bonus, which more often is not, is not all it's cracked up to me. I got a 10K bonus on year, which sounds nice, but when you factor in the hours I worked, that was the equivalent of paying me 15 bucks an hour.
