According to this site the average salary for someone with a Bachelor's Degree (not just recent graduates but all employees, including those with many years experience) is $69.9k.
For high-demand technology jobs, average starting salaries are between $40-50k according to this site.
For engineers, starting salaries range from about $45k to $60k ( source). |
I just started a co-op in old & gas company a lot of the other students only expect low to mid 50K when they start out. Don't know where this 80K number for 22 year olds is coming from. Maybe 28-35 year olds in this city is more realistic average for 80K range.
