It will allow you to input what major you are graduating with, select job titles and compare salaries based on where you live. You’ll be able to tell right away if you’re expecting too little, too much or just about right for your profession and region.

I work in a NJ-based university and most students can expect to earn a salary somewhere between $35K and $65K, all depending on what they’ve majored in. I realize salaries in our area are generally higher than the rest of the country, but maybe that will help give you a basis to work from.

Generally starting is around $24K to 28K

$40K is usually what a Masters gets scraping on the ceilling.

If someone offers you a 40K job, don’t hesitate, unless it’s like at the Artic Circle and even then just by four coats from LL BEAN.

You will get $30 K training in Retail as an Assisntant Manager traninee and then go to $35K after you do the training period.

But retail is a lot of work and hours!

either degree you may start at 30,000$ lots of places anyway. 40 is certainly reasonable with marketable skills.

I did find this data for you and hopefully it is what you are looking for.
