What is the starting salary for a Fresh Graduate in USA?

Hi, Can someone tell me the following info?

1. Average starting pay for a fresh grad in US.
2. Average food expense for a person, single, male 20+ in US
3. How much does it cost to advertise 1/4 page in the local newspaper in US, no color.

Thank you.

 

Your question is too general to answer. Geographical location makes a difference for each of your questions. The biggest difference is the degree the graduate has. A degree in computer science and a liberal arts degree have two vey different compensation levels. You would have to be much more specific. Suggest you start by using Google to research.

 

There are way too many factors to consider such as the type of degree and the job saturation. Anyways.. maybe www.salary.com will be useful for your research.

 

monster.com does or did have all that info broken out by geographic location, job title, etc.

 

what degree and from what uni? that makes big differnece

 

An average is not really going to tell you the information you're looking for, because the range is so large, but I would guess it's somewhere around $25,000-$30,000. Like everyone else said, the different factors include college, degree, and location. The range is going to be anywhere from $12,000 to $100,000+, so the specifics really do make a difference.

 

It depends on what you graduate in, where you graduate from and where you work, meaning city & state.

Where we live, in the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area, a fresh graduate in Computer Science from the University of MD, can expect a salary $40k - $60k.


Average food expense, if you eat McDonalds every day is like $10 a day, but $500 - $700 a month is reasonable.

In the washington post, to advertise 1/4 page, you would probably be paying 3 - 4 months of your starting salary.

 

wow thats good! 40 - 60 K for 24 year old

Canada has much lower incomes
more like 28-55K for starting
