<p>NYULawyer: with all due respect, you have a very warped view of what constitutes a good entry-level job.</p>
<p>I know people who got into upper, upper management at very large companies who started off in crummy jobs. I know people who started off earning $25k a year and now have very rewarding, remunerative careers - and who moved up the ladder really fast.</p>
<p>(Not to psychoanalyse you, but I’m guessing that your parents were older when they had you. I, on the other hand, remember living in my grandparents’ basement - and grew up watching my parent’s career take off. Ergo, your whole 'tude about people’s lives being oh-so-horrible if they don’t earn $60k right out of the gate, just makes me laugh.)</p>
