Get off your soapbox. No one has said anything about attitudes and professional expectations; that has no relevance to the topic. I'm simply speaking about starting salaries.
Grad school in my case isn't quite "bullshite" either

This has been a very entertaining thread

The professional world will open you eyes. You will learn more in a year at work then all your years of schooling. Rude awakening will occur, it's part of growing up.

What's it like to work 80 hours a week on the road all year making per diem by the way?
You mean 50 hours 3 weeks home 1 week gone.
I actually like it.
I don't get perdium.

I hire college grads at $15/hr. Most aren't worth shite.
Some of the best logic in here. I deal with these new grads every day.

This was a thread right in the OT's wheelhouse. It's a chance to show that 90% of the posters on a message board are part of the upper-middle class 15%.

Once again, zero relevance to the topic at hand
A number of less capable and diligent people than I have made it in the professional world; I think I'll survive

And you want me to believe that all of your friends your age started out with a salary of 80K . I'd bet serious cash that you didn't start out with half that salary after college.
No, most of my friends are idiots that mow yards for a living. They have to have a truck.
I didn't finish college. When I left I made about $800 a week.

Graduated in Accounting from LSU in 2004. First job was a small mortgage company - $32k. Next, moved to corporate tax - started at $36k. I bought my house on this salary (no kids, not married). I have always been comfortable. $55k in BR is good starting money. People's ideas seem a little skewed. You'll do great!

Per diem?? Or is "perdium" a medical term I am unfamiliar with?

Unless he had one hell of an opportunity, in that he was set for life, it's basically always a dumb decision to drop out of college.
I agree. At the time, it was a necessity. Partly due to circumstances that I couldn't control, but mostly due to my own bad decisions.

55K is far above avg. starting salary for the average college grad.
