[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1610489, member: 43436"] Fallacy. For all college graduates in 2014, the median salary was close to $49K -- and that engineer is banking over $70K. There's big deviations regionally in median starting salaries, but the biggest deviation concerns the graduate's grades. If he graduated with a "C" average, he won't receive an offer in line with somebody who had a "B" or better. But after two years experience, his college GPA is of less concern than his experience. Also, consider total compensation. While it's true many teachers start out in the $30K range, consider that they work an average of 170-175 days per year (with the entire summer off) -- a UPS driver with decades of experience & maximum vacations will work 215. And in 10-15 years, that teacher will be earning $60K-$70K (in present value) anyway. And in 30, they'll be fully retired, with a pension topping $40K/year in most states and not a penny toward retirement health insurance. [/QUOTE]
