re: What was your starting salary right out of college?

Pharmacists require 7-8 years of college and graduate with a doctoral degree so I feel >$100,000 is appropriate. We do more than just "count pills

take a look at my name... May give you a clue as to what I do for a living, so no need for the condescending "pills" remark... I was curious as to where they were paying 119k right out the gates 9 years ago... it wasn't baton rouge, I know that for a fact... so where do you practice

Not a bad job out of college? are you working for inspector general or one of the big 3

Could have skipped college and sold cars and made the same amount... Who's the dummy

I've sold cars before and that job is miserable. True, you can make $100k+ selling cars, but your arse better be ready to put in some serious hours (12 a day) and say goodbye to your weekends.

I sell TV ads for a living, which does require a college degree and about 40-45 hours of work per week. Definitely the easier way to skin the cat between the two.

Plus, I was fortunate to have parents who paid for college, so no way in hell would I trade four years of raging in Oxford to go straight to work

I was a projects EHS Manager, with a base of $75k ($36/hr salaried).

That didn't include per dien ($154 a day) or OT ($54 am hour on an average 60 hour week).
