QUOTE (Jessica @ Jun 8 2008, 05:49 PM)  Working for a major newspaper which is possible if a student interns while in school, that is the pay. I know it because I have researched jobs at the Austin American-Statesman, San Antonio Express News, Houston Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, etc. Working for a small town paper out of school, you can expect upper 20's, lower 30s. Sorry I just don't see this being true. The average person coming out of school with a Bachelors in Mass Communications isn't going to start in the state of Texas at $38k. Low 30s maybe, but I'd guess more like 27-32k on the high side. Quick searches on all those newspaper's websites you mentioned don't even list any jobs or internships. |

Nearly half of my take-home pay is going into a house fund.

the job ive found if i was just going to stick with my BA in psychology was 41,500 starting with MHMR - Child dev. specialist. my CDC job starts at 37,000 for first 6 months with regular pay increases after. far cry from "low 20s" or whatever people who obviously dont often have a need to search for psychology jobs were saying
what ive found - most people are horrible at job searches or just dont give a damn ergo they dont find the right kind of jobs and dont know of all the opportunities out there -------------------- Little monkeys making money
Naked monkey looking funny Mighty males are strong and free Female monkey, not so lucky Rocking monkeys, funky monkeys Monkeys sticking other monkeys Monkeys wrong or monkeys right Mostly flexing monkey might |

i think you could make better money than you do being a target at a gun range. i know id pay AT LEAST 25 bucks
but its not about how much you make (as long as you make enough to live comfortably). its if you love your job and if you are contributing to a better world imo. i plan on being a working mother (a mother who has an outside job) and i dont plan on being the sole income barrier. so i know i wont have any money worries. thats a bright enough future for me! then does that mean id settle for a 30k job? no. because i simply think my work, and time is worth more than that. i think that is in general pretty low for a college graduate. and im willing to bet ANY college graduate could find a job that pays in the mid to upper 30s as a start -------------------- Little monkeys making money
