No shite. My wife has a French Lit degree and makes more, >$100k, than me with both BS and MS degrees. People just repeat that to make themselves feel good about their boring arse vo-tech type degree.

I feel like you've explained this before and it was pretty interesting.
She doesn't do jack shite related to her degree right?

Not at all. I convinced her to move to San Francisco with me instead of to Paris like her plans had always been. Her first job was a tech headhunter. She's now the director of HR for a shared services center.

If you have a college degree and ~8 years of pertinent experience, you shouldn't really have an issue making 50k. I think that's the point he was getting at.

No I'm just an idiot.

I'd say a 20% (or more) raise regardless is good.
Huh? $1.20 raise from $25/hr is a 4.8% raise.

OT math baw!
Posted on 7/25/17 at 5:28 pm to Muice
Yeah that's around 5%. Still an OK annual raise without a promotion.

Don't OT math and drive.

well, let me pull over and think about this...10% of 25 is approximately 2.5, so, oh shite, I have to go home and use the calculator

I'm legitimately laughing out loud at your responses and trying to figure out what type of mistake you can make where $1.20 works out to 20% of $25.

Since I'll own the idiocy.
25/1.2 instead of 1.2/25.
Long day
ETA: glad I could make you smile slackster

It quit being a "big deal" 10-15 years ago.

I and my daughter went to Catholic schools. All things considered 6k-8k a year hurts, but it is manageable. I'm not sure about BR, but I can't even imagine trying to manage schools like Newman and Country Day in NOLA with fees in the 20k range not to mention multiple kids.

I did some quick Google research on a number of topics to make sure my numbers were within ballpark.
Monthly
Starter home mortgage / rent $1250
Auto loan $300
Auto insurance $164 (2017 avg in LA)
Employee paid portion + out of pocket expenses for healthcare $917 (2016 average for a US family of four)
Childcare $550
I'll play. I just had to do all this budgeting shite when I started receiving job offers before graduation.
For a single (24yo) male with no kids.
Annual salary: 57500
Weekly pay: ~750 (after taxes, SS, healthcare, 10% for retirement)
(Monthly net pay of 3k)
Rent: 650
Utilities: 100
Car note: 212
Insurance: 185
Phone: 85
Gas: 100
Groceries: 300
Entertainment: 500
Total spending: 2000
That gives me $1000 a month to save.
Pretty easy to see that, at least in BR. You could live like a KING making almost double that as a single male. Sure you'd pay a little more for a mortgage and house upkeep. And you probably wouldn't be driving a $20k car but even then I could party my arse off for $100k gross pay.
Eta: I graduated with 0 loans thanks to a combo of tops and working full-time. I know that graduating with no loans is outside the norm because apparently it's fricking impossible to go to school and work.
