Even with some experience? I figured people in HR/accounting/safety jobs made around that out of school.
Cajun - you didn't happen to start in acct?

Yep, it truly is silly bc I felt like such a baller at fifty and now I feel broke at 75.

Did you really not realize that engineering paid more than most majors coming out of school? Or did you just post that to be an asshat?

$52-54k is the norm in New Orleans. Hou/Dal may be $55,000+.

I don't know why you edited, but I'll remove the ones I quoted you on.

I live in Burbank Estates, right near the Mellow in Baton Rouge. It's a gated community and I have a roommate, but I have a huge room, my own bathroom, and everything included for $620 a month.

Who around here offers a MS in that? That field is hot, but I'd imagine it's hard without a background in tech.

I know where that is. I wasn't so much asking how you were living off of that or anything if that's how you took it. Hell, I hardly make anything right now. Still have a year of school left. I work at our Loan and Mortgage company part time, although I'm not even in school for business any more after changing to Marketing and Moving Image Arts. I don't make too much. I was seeing if you were still looking at options for places to work after you're done with everything.
My uncle has a CPA firm in Lake Charles, but I highly doubt you'd want to move that way.
Still, if you need more options that's basically another one, and I could put a word in.

I knew what engineering paid, but I didn't really have a good concept of what other majors got. It's hard to express this without sounding douchey, though, so you're right.
