35-40k a year. WTF! I guess its worth mentioning I live in Indiana. From what I see on TV its cheaper to live in Indiana and Ohio than any other state that you can name a city in, lol. But still, how to fuck can someone live on that? I am amazed. It would be slightly more enjoyable than my current day job but pays way less.

Well, I don't know about Indiana... but $1000 a month on your home in Iowa buys you a family home. You can rent apartments for $300-500, nice ones at that.
A salary for a 22-year-old fresh out of college of $40,000 is not bad at all... I don't know why people think awesome jobs just pop up out of nowhere.Vacares - Web Hosting, Domains, O365, Security & More - Paxum and BTC Accepted

I have a friend in San Diego that got his degree in biology. He got a job at a medical company as a research assistant for $35k. This is fresh out of college, in San Diego, with a biology degree. What's wrong with that?Vacares - Web Hosting, Domains, O365, Security & More - Paxum and BTC Accepted

1. I guess Indiana is slightly more expensive than Iowa.
2. You missed the last sentence of my post where I said I currently make way more than that, right?
3. Great advice.
4. That guy is no doubt on zoloft, paxil, and prozac, j/k. If I think 35k would suck cock in Indiana where the median house is 120k what is 35k where the median house is 360k? Sucky! Unlike me he prolly has student loans instead of loot in the bank. I feel bad for him. I gotta give it to him for hanging in there though. Hopefully he is happy despite his economic situation. It sounds like he deserves it. Go buy him a beer.Comment

Your guess on the taxes are about exactly right but the crib costs more. I'm thinking about buying the very unattractive 2009 Prius to compensate. Some current hybrids arent much cheaper than an efficient normal car when you consider how much the batteries cost to replace but the new one is supposed to be better. I think I might regret it. I'm not broke, just cheap. And they are so ugly.

It's a starting salary, unless you majored in something useless, you will probably get 5k raise each year for the next 5 years... bringing you up to 60k+ which isn't great, but enough to lead a normal comfortable life...Custom Software Development, email: woj#at#wojfun#.#com to discuss details or skype: wojl2000 or gchat: wojfun or telegram: wojl2000

Shit just 40k oh my gawd.
To think I feel for several friends who have families and they do not even make that with dual incomes, they are close but still fall short. I know they have a mortgage etc. Also know their monthly buffer is between 500 and 700. At same time they do not come off as poor and are typically pretty happy.Comment

35k - 40k is like what everyone gets paid :P A lot of people fresh out of school don't even get that much..
It's fucking bullshit. Especially since you lose quite a bit of it to the government..
But if you stay with a company and gain experience you get a raise at about age 30 So thats about 5 years experience for most graduates..
this is why working for other people has become a complete waste of time.
I can't live for 35k a year. Companies want to hire me for 35k a year and expect me to suck their dick and be grateful and bust my ass... mean while I can't afford to pay my rent and eat at the same time..
luckily I come from a family that has allowed me connections and means to make money outside of my chosen career...
I dunno how people do it.. busting their ass day in and day out just to barely eat and cover the bills..Last edited by payd2purv; 05-03-2008, 12:27 PM.
