I'm in IT and coming out of college was the hay-day for the IT field (late '90s). Seriously, I knew people making 40, 50, 60, even 70k coming straight out of college! It isn't like that anymore, though. Companies have cut back and aren't spending like the world was about to end.

**MachNU** · 10-26-2005, 04:37 PM

God i hope when i graduate college with my Business Admin Degree i hope i make a good amount.

**SLOWR/T** · 10-26-2005, 07:44 PM

**drupason** · 10-26-2005, 07:47 PM

what sucks is once im hired on as a firefighter i wont even be making that! whats wrong with that picture? we should be make 6 figures! haha

**Julio** · 10-26-2005, 07:50 PM

More then that.. actually I made 38 k when I was 18 years of age (97).. and thats the less I have made since... To much money for a young lost mind like mines back then.. I wasted alot of time and blew money away for awhile.. but hey.

**tony** · 10-26-2005, 09:24 PM

More, the first time I made $40k in a year and had to file taxes I was PISSED.. there are basically no deductions and they take a nice chunk of your paycheck. I did much more last year but because I had a small business on the side I only had to pay about $1k.

**Hulud** · 10-26-2005, 09:24 PM

mama aint raise no foo!

I "should have" graduated in '98, but I really wanted to stay in Athens one more year.

**quickdodge®** · 10-26-2005, 11:00 PM

Bout $8k less. Will be more by about $8k in April of 06. Later, QD.

**ARFNSX** · 10-26-2005, 11:12 PM

I make a little bit more than that if I am allowed to use my company to back me up. (Hell, it is my money, I can do as I please with it)

On another note, I thought the nationwise household average was about 45k. I am wondering where these figures are coming from.
