Good point.

 

[waggy]

not goign to matter what you put in the poll. these threads are always full of crap. to many lie and inflate the amount.

 

[jlee]

Voted 30-40k. I'll almost definitely clear 40k w/OT, though.

 

[her209]

LOL... everyone on ATOT makes $100K+ by age 16.

I'm assuming that most votes > $100,000 are lies. They can be discarded.

Well after Ferrari repairs and paying for the super-model gf's shopping habit I think their take-home is slightly under $100K.

i am willing to bet the majority over $70k are.

at 25 the odds on makeing that much unless you own a business (even then its damn hard), are a doctor , lawyer or such (wich is not many people) are slim.

And most doctors and lawyers don't finish school until after 25.

>70K <25y/o isn't unbelievable, I make more than 70K.

There is a lot of wage inflation, when I started 55K-60K was base for a new consultant (analyst) level, now new analysts come in at 65K.

Then of course there are all the ibankers...

Also depends on where you are - $40k here is probably $100k in NYC.

i was not sure on the age.but i was thinking it was older then 25.

i didn't say it was impossible. i said odds are the majority are going to lie.

i am sure there are many here that do it. just not as many as are going to claim they do.

I think its entirely possible to make >70K by the age of 25, when I was working the last summer at an electric utility the new engineers were making that much and they were only 3 years out of college, so ~25 years of age, the one guy who was 5 years out of college was making 87,000$ and this is just as a bottom level engineer with no type of management experience. Also this was in the southeast, so in most other places in the country I would expect people to be making even more.

TBH I sort of expect to make 70,000K when I am 25 based on my starting salary, and I has less than a 3.0 GPA at an engineering school not even in the top 40. My twin brother goes to MIT and more or less every single engineer he knows is making 75,000$ the day they graduate, and I am sure a good number will be making 100,000$ by the age of 25.

^ true. i'm 23 and base salary is 54k, but with OT it's more like 61 and expect to be getting a raise to around 66 in the next 6 months, when i'm 24 so not too far off!

 

[TraumaRN]

My base salary right now is about 52K...but I'll easily break 60K this year with OT. Thats not counting the pay raise I'll get which should be about 3 to 3.5%. With that I might hit 70K this year w/ OT

I'm 22 ATM

I'm in a similar boat but I just turned down a job for 67k because of the location (I'm 23).

Hard to get a good job where I want it... but now I work out of home and have internet + phone paid for. Not much but its something.

No gas to use driving to work is awesome plus no drive time. Base salary is 48k + OT + 13k bonus opp working 4 days a week. I like it.

I think what gets me to stay is within a few years I can get ~58k base salary + OT + 21k bonus opp all while working from home. To me its worth it. I'll take a job for less money to work from home and work 4 days a week with paid OT at time and a half and double time on holidays.

 

[SampSon]

When I was 25 I made in the 50K-60K range.
This is not counting non-primary employment sources of income.

Engineering can often go above that amount. I believe we have a lot of people working in that area here.

Tons of people earn over $70k at that age. I started well over $70k in my first job out of school. It depends on what you do. It's not uncommon for an engineer.

 

[daniel1113]

one BILLION dollars... muwahaha!

 

[judasmachine]

back when i was that age, i was only making about 21k. thank god that was long ago...

 

[BigToque]

Every time I look at these threads I'm a little shocked to see so many people making such high salaries and then I realize that most people here don't really reflect the general population. You guys all have engineering degrees, CS degrees, going to med school, etc.
