Salary Expectations......

six figures, yo. yeah, not like when im in my mid 20s, but that's the eventual goal. hit 6 figures, live plenty comfortably with no limitations on what i'd want to do. just want to be able to raise a family, put them through school, take some trips, maybe have a small summer home with a boat on a lake near a ski resort for the winter, and buy some cool shit too. like front row tickets to the stanley cup playoffs, or a ballin ass tv / soundsystem. the things you could do with out, but still enjoy doing / having.
 
Not if you work the greys enough...durka durka. But yeah, it's a price to pay for free education, good public services and universal health care - I'm all for high income tax, but the municipal taxation differences here are ludicrous.
 
Make those six figures, send your kids to Europe to study for free (and well) and save hundreds of thousands. Then you're looking at AT LEAST FIFTEEN BALLIN ASS TV/SOUNDSYSTEMS IN YOUR LUXURY HOME.

Think about it.
 
How's that work anyway, do you have to be accepted somewhere for them to pay off your tuition or what?

Slightly OT but I digress.
 
18/HOUR IN MY INTERNSHIP...SHOULD BE STACKING 90,000+/YEAR AS SOON AS SUMMER IS OVER, BUT THE PRICE OF LIVING IS SUPER HIGH HERE.

I WOULD BE LIVING COMFORTABLY AT 50,000/YEAR...BUT LIKE I SAID PRICE OF LIVING IS SUPER HIGH. UP IN THE AREA OF MY COLLEGE I WOULD BE COMFY WITH 30,000/YEAR

my goal is to someday beat out my moms salary...

but first i want to be making over 75 by the time i am 35ish
 
Year and a half removed from college in Colorado I make $35,000 in a marketing related job.

Not entirely happy with my salary, but its certainly more than enough to live on.

Jobs aren't really that hard to find these days, good paying jobs however are and as such salaries are quite low these days.
 
not true. a lot of people get their family through and a house in my area (which is not cheap at all --> tourism) with not much more than 40 k in USD.

seriously, making 200k is over 15k bucks per month.. idk how many employees make that much.

of course a higher position equals a higher salary but not everybody can reach such a position, even with education and effort.

imo, anything over 4-5 k per month is a fucking legit salary.
 
want to become a workaholic in the financial world doing something in it...not sure what but something on wall street or in fianncial advising or whatever kind of job i get.
i hope that by mid life towards the peak of my earning years im making 800,000-1.5,000,000. That after much hard work obviously.
 
my dad currently owns a business and makes around $200K a year, and hopefully when i graduate with my business degree he may retire in a few years and i could inherit it, so i could possibly make around that if everything goes right.
 
live in a mad rich town, but the houses are mad cheap. so i would have to say you need about 70-80k income to live and fit in here. even tho a bunchof people around me are making 150-300k (doctors, surgeons)
 
the kid is talking about making moves down on wall street and you think 1.5 is out of range? The average employee at goldman makes over half a mil easy...the average salary on wall street is still close to 400k and thats nothing compare to what some people make
im not saying the kid has any shot of actually making it down there (i have no idea about his education or past employment) but saying 1.5 is impossible might me the silliest thing ive ever heard on this website
 
id like enough for me to live comfortably and most importantly allow me to ski as much as i want. so id say somewhere around 100,000. i live in QC canada
 
Obviously it depends on where you live but even $1500 a month could be a large underestimate. I'm one year out of college and $1500 would probably only cover rent, food, and gas. Food is WAY more than $15 a week. Probably closer to $50 assuming you buy generic brands. Then there's student loans, insurance, skiing...it adds up.
 
Lol at the food comment... Food is cheap if you can make it cheap and healthy. I lived five months for less than 60$ and only ate fresh veggies and steak.
 
I'm 19. I make $3000/month and I expect to be making $6000-$8000/month in 4-5 years. 3k is enough for me but nothing wrong with more.
 
When I am ski instructing I make about $4-5k a month, but that's only during the northern hemi winter, in the summer in NZ/Argentina I make less. Enough for me at the moment (26) though. I guess long term I will get some sort of more stable salaried job, always thought about law, in that I'd be hoping for 100k once I got settled with it.

Money isn't everything though. So many of the millionaires I teach are jealous of my lifestyle.
 
This. Salary is often used to get new recruits to work tons of overtime and not have to pay them for it.

Competitive salary depends on many factors. I would narrow down by location then try to figure out cost of living, commute, housing, etc.
 
ok this is my alias account cause i dont want you guys to think im a snob/charge me more for shit so...

I honestly have no idea what the value of a dollar is, quite frankly, we (my family) has more money than we know what to do with. Ive gotten into file cabinets and shit and we have an estimated 8 million in stocks while my mom makes about 700,000 a year and my dad is working on some top secret buisness venture which could possible cure alzheimers (lol sp?) hopefully that works out haha.

honestly, im expecting to make about 500k to about 800k when im at the peak of my salary. I dont know why, it just seems like buisness is a part of me, ive always known what to do and where to invest money/efforts in, and i have great persuasive/ppl skills that could make me a sweet buisnessman haha.

i know i sound like an asshole speaking about money. im sorry. thus the alias account!
 
as crew? how much does the captain make? thats what i want to do in the future, right now im stuck as captain of charter fishing boats
 
step out of your bubble when you get to college and you will see how lucky your parents are. To be THAT succesful takes a combination of tremendous talent and luck...straight up, especialy in a buisness field. though you do have alot going for you-connections through mom and pop- it will still take some luck to bea earning 500,000+

 
Yeah I'm a stewardess but dabbling on the deckhand side of things too. Captain salary depends on the size of the boat and their experience. When I was on a 92' the captain made $6000/month, which is low, but that included food, health and life insurance, a month paid vacation and one flight home.

I have a pdf document from one of my crew agents that has salary guidelines. I can email it to you if you're interested.
 
still, $6000 a month for living on a sick yacht. How long are the owners usually on board for? 92 is pretty manageable as well, right now i drive an 85 foot tank of a boat, this one:
13041906773963291912_7c395fb8dd.jpg
 
The owner came on board a lot and we also did charters. Charters were sick, a week of work and we'd each get a $1000-$2000 tip.

That's a pretty gnarly looking boat. Does it have thrusters? I'd love to whip that around, though I'm just getting used to a 29'.
 
I'm told by my professors that students graduating from my program have been making somewhere in the range of $60,000-$70,000 straight out of school. I have no doubts that this will go up since computer security is becoming a much more important issue than it was even a couple years ago. Just look at Sony, lol
 
only a weak bow thruster that doesnt work half the time, twin diesels though, i think 500 hp each. i have to turn it around in a busy channel/inlet with ripping tides, it get pretty sketchy sometimes with the idiot boaters there are. i pretty much have to turn it around in a space a little over its own length, it takes a lot of practice
 
yeaah, the twins help a lot. being only 18, i think its a pretty solid job that should set me up well for getting my 1600 ton masters liscence in a few years
 
If you want big money but no soul, move to Australia and work in the mining sector. I know this guy and i was talking to him last night, he's un educated, failed highschool, and pretty much just a bogan, he's on, get this, $252 000 a year. You read that right. All he does is inventory on a mine site. Man this culture needs to get its priorities right. What about nurses and teachers? come on.
 
You just need to sell those millionaires your lifestyle for a week at a time. Constant companion style but charge heaps!
 
Okay but that's in Australia where taxes are a lot high and everything costs more. I mean bartenders there make like $25/hr.
 
I expect to make around 30-40k right out of college (mech engineering and german double major). I dont believe the median 50k out of college bit at all. Maybe working for a year or two out of school but not directly out of it.

I could also live comfortably off of 50-60k with no kids, around 100k is my main goal and that would be more than enough for what i want to do.
 
Yeah man, lots of money over there in WA, but you do have to live in a terrible place! Be tolerable for a year or two though I guess.
