<p>I know a guy who graduated from UCB with a BA in Enviromental Science and a minor in management, after he obtained his BA he immediately began to work for a company. Now he’s obtaining a masters, but my question is, how much can you $$ can you make with just a BA degree?</p>
<p>It varies so much that that’s not even a good question. Usually it depends on the area of the country but the most starting salary you can get with BA is engineering or accounting probably 45-50k. With lower end degrees, it might be as low as 20k.</p>
<p>i dont think that’s true. a senior econ major from my school just got hired by a large banking company for 100-125k, and an anthropology major (!) landed that same job 2 years ago and is still working there. apparently she took some math and science classes and had other skills. so i wouldn’t say the “most” you can make is 45-50k with a BA. i don’t see how the degree alone would limit an individual, though general behavior of BA’s might indicate otherwise.</p>
<p>In general, a BA is not meant to be the end of ones formal education. Those who get hired by companies for good jobs with good salaries straight out of undergraduate school should consider themselves lucky. Usually, a BA is merely the prerequisite for necessary further education in a more specialized program.</p>
<p>I want to attend UCB and obtain my degree in English, but I have no idea what I want to do afterwards. If I major in Englsh and minor in business mangement how much would be the average salary I would receive. What if I get a masters degree, then how much? (Or i could do that smart thing and go to graduate school >__<)</p>
<p>The first thing is establishing what it is that you want to do as a career. It doesn’t sound like you’re clear on what you want, other than “working for a company.” What does that mean? What kind of company? Doing what for them?</p>
<p>Figure out exactly what it is that you want to do, and then you can look into what it takes academically to achieve it, and also how much money you will likely be looking at.</p>
<p>a bachelors in nursing, even an AA you start out with 60k a year</p>
<p>
I totally forgot about nursing damnit</p>
<p>LOL, not true about starting out at 60K a year. W/ an AS and an R.N. license, you could expect to make around 35-40K. When you get your Bachelor’s Degree you’re pushed up to 40-50K. 60K after you’ve been there for awhile.</p>
<p>But most nurses don’t start out at 60K, especially not ones with an AS.</p>
<p>I don’t know where you’re from granted, but here in california nurses do start out with about 60k, even with an AA degree. If they choose to work more than 3 days a week, this amount goes up even more. And the difference between the salaray of an AA and BS nurses really isn’t that much differnet. IT varies by about $2 an hour, however, responsilbities do differ.</p>

<p>When I read the earlier post about 60K—I thought, gee, our area is really underpaid. I know starting nurses around here make in the low 30’s. Then I found these numbers which sound about right, making allowances for being from the year 2000.</p>
<p>^^Sorry the table won’t post as I typed it. But last number in each line is average annual income in that geographic area.</p>
<p>as you can see, pacific is indeed more, and you have to understand that your data is from 2000, you’re forgetting the fact that since then, the need for nurses has gone up tremendously with the aging of baby boomers. I don’t know about your area, but here we are facing a nursing shortage so nurses are being offered sign-on bonuses upwards of 10k! in addition to their salaries of starting at around $27 an hour, on average.</p>
