<p>You can look up the average starting salary for graduates for your school. Mine is around 45k but it depends on your major.</p>

</p>

<p>It all depends. Where you get your degree as well as what you major in and what type of job you are planning on all effect your expected salary. This website does a decent job of expected salaries for graduates by school by sending out surveys to recent grads:</p>

<p>You can also always check with your school’s career placement office too.</p>

<li> About $18,000 total.</li>
<li> PhD Computer Science (luckily, PhD students get stipends, so I don’t have to worry about an increased loan burden after completing undergraduate).</li>
<li> If I go into academia, I’ll probably start at about $70,000 as an assistant professor. If I go into industry, then I’ll probably start at about $90,000-$100,000.

<p>linguae (cool name, btw),
That’s IF you can start as an assistant professors. Many profs. have to spend a year or two adjuncting for a pentence before they can score a full-time, tenure-track position. However, CS is better than, say an English PhD in this regard, as you are probably more likely to find part or full time industry work in addition to or instead of adjuncting.</p>

32

<p>That website doesn’t give starting salaries for undergraduates.</p>

33

<p>It does if you look at salaries by experience “0 years.” Though I can’t say for sure that it is undergraduates when dealing with universities, but at an LAC it will obviously solely be referring to undergrads.</p>

34

<p>undergrad: about 18,000 in debt</p>

<p>yes, going to vet school. Will have at least 80,000 in debt when done with that to add on to my undergrad total</p>

<p>starting salary will be about 50,000 hopefully, and go up to at least 75,000, although it depends alot on where I choose to practice (country vs. city)</p>

35

<p>According to the site brand recommended, I should expect ~$88k salary, ~$36k bonus as an investment banker, which I find absurd. Usually the bonus is bigger and salary is smaller.</p>
