Correct

I know some NPs and their pay is pretty close to what this list shows

Usually begin around 80-85 and cap around 110

Glanced at list, saw doctors, pharmacists and wondered where the airline pilots were next. List is stupid, but it's yahoo, so....


yeah, you know what they say about stats and liars, and lawyers for that matter, these can be skewed into whatever point is trying to be made, first year pilots, i.e. entry level pilots at my company would be 6 on that list, but it's not like they fell off the turnip truck and walked in the door, they are highly experienced and rated pilots that are(for the most part ) ready to fly our jets, so entry level to us, but they've been flying somewhere else, typically military

I'm sure the plant manager at BASF or Exxon is pulling in a little more than indicated here

On top of the technical expertise required, you wouldn't think it was "soft/cushy" when service drops to a multi-million dollar client.

Those don't look like entry level salaries to me.


"median entry-level salary"

One has to keep in mind that a lot of those aren't entry-level jobs. A physician isn't an entry-level job in the medical field and neither is a plant operations manager.

There is also going to be a lot of jobs where the standard deviation from the median is much higher. A first-year associate at Wachtell in NYC is going to make a shite load more than a first-year lawyer in the PD's office in some backwater Southern county or parish.

In the big picture median entry-level means little or anything. Some job salaries soar after the first few years and some just gradually go up. There is a hard ceiling for some and 7 figures are possible in others.

Sorry if already noted, but the plant manager figure at $105K is a damn joke, unless they are calling a plant manager the kind that manages a plant nursery.

Hell, most of the white collar jobs at a refinery make at least that much.

yeah, I guess what they are representing is the entry level salary at which point an individual has attained the qualifications for this position and is a new entrant to the field, not someone who saw the position open on Indeed while sitting in front of their computer eating Cheerios in their boxers, and decided to apply

Physician is very misleading.

Entry level doctor is being a resident, average about 50K

Once you complete residency, you make 200K+
