    Graduated two days ago, so i'm basically unemployed right now, so i guess my salary could be better! Should improve soon though!

    I'm curious as to how many of these jobs pay more than $20/hour for all the dedication to college/training you all went through?

    I am not and am working hard to change it to a better one. Preferably one with less running. First comes the degree, then comes the networking, then hopefully comes the house, white picket fence and 2.3 children. Already have the hacksaw.

    I'm happy with what I currently make.

    my own anecdote, I'm making just shy of $40/hour with an associate's degree-soon to be a bachelor's (but no pay raise for it)-hospital RN in Oregon.

    To answer the OP, I'm quite content with my pay.

    not really currently. mostly because I have to pay next to $1,200 a month on rent and utilities alone. not to mention buying food, gas, loan payments, etc.

    Yes and no, I suppose?
    Like, objectively it's not that much - but considering that I don't really have to pay rent/mortgage payments and basically don't have to do much for it to begin with, it's probably not that bad.

    I work very little for $50k so I'm pretty pleased. I have time to take care of a lot of personal work while I'm at work, and I have access to a lot of tools, resources, services and work trucks when I need also.

    I make about 2200€ gross income monthly, which is a bit below average for my area I think so yeah, wouldn't mind getting some more so I could put some more into savings.

    No, I don't make 6 figures yet.

    My salary is okay, but not great for the amount of education I have. What I don't like is that I got a promotion and that I had to take a small pay cut of about $500 a year to take it. That was really fucked up, but the new title should pay off when I seek to move elsewhere.

    Pay could be better, but benefits are good. Previous jobs paid more, but I've dialed back my life a bit and embraced the lack of stress. My wife is still annoyed at my drop in pay, but she wasn't the one dealing with the stress. There comes a point where stability outweighs long hours and the constant threat of pink slips whenever a company wants to tweak their stock price just isn't worth dealing with anymore.

    No pay isn't good enough.

    It pays my car, mortgage, holiday, nice restaurants and bar, but then, no pay is ever good enough.

    I only have wages, and definitely not. It's a struggle to get five days a week let alone full time.
