“Highly educated” in what way? Lesbian studies? Art history?
People with medical and technology degrees are in high demand. Starting salary for programmers out of most state colleges is around $65k.
Sure, but keep in mind, you have to compete with Raji and his 6 cousins from India that will work the job for a 1/3 of that salary and live 6 deep in a 1 bedroom 1 study apartment in violation of every housing code on the books.
You don’t reside in reality, do you?
I was surprised recently when a young man I know left a very high paying job in medical technology with a successful established company and found another job paying more money in two weeks.
Unfortunately, the average college graduate has nowhere near those prospects. Our economy must compete with China, India, and third world countries.
If anybody ever figures out a way to ship plugged toilets to India to get them unplugged, even plumbers will find it difficult to make a living in the U.S.
There are two types of college degrees and only two types. Those that require calculus and those that do not. Those that require calculus are real degrees that end in a S as in B.S. M.S. and MSc. The starting rate for a petroleum engineer at my company is 115k first year out of college with a 25k sign on bonus even in lean oil times PEs are hard to come by. I have an MSc and first post grad year cleared 130 in total comp not including bonus. Most of the other degrees have little to no marketability and are paid commensurate to that fact. victim’s studies and gender studies is good for one thing making me my $12 gin and tonic after work or my 8 buck coffee in the mornings.
