<p>I agree that many unemployed 2012 grads have unreasonable expectations as to starting salary. Then again, my unemployed engineer tells me that “entry level” starting salary in his field is $60,000 - $65,000. Yes, but you have nothing dear . . . so apply to that posting offering $35,000 which you very well might not even get . . . or get a job at the mall (or Starbucks, dare I say after the previous posts?) while you are supposedly looking . . . It’s only been a month I keep reminding myself . . .</p>
