I got this website previously posted on this same thread:

http://web.princeton.edu/sites/career/data/surveys/CareerSurveyReport2004.html

It shows the average starting salaries for Princeton. And considering the averages start around 50K, I’d still say 65K is well over the average.

However, I do acknowledge the fact that there are analysts who make 80K + for top firms in NYC. I wonder if engineering positions for top companies like Exxon-Mobil pay this kind of dough for first year college students. I believe petroleum engineers make this kind of money but as far as other kinds of chemical engineers, I don’t believe they get anywhere near 80K their first year.
