Poll: How much do you make in your position relative to your local average?

[Chaotic42]

You can find out: Here

I'm *well* below the 25th-percentile for GIS Analyst I. I make about 64% of the average income.

The good news is that once I get my degree, I could be well on my way to making $60K or more per year. If I become a "Physicist V" I can make (on average) $102,737. We'll see.

How about you?

heh. $10,000 less than the average.

supposedly I get a pretty nice raise on my 1-year aniversary, though, which is coming up in November.

About 10k less then 25%. Don't mind though, because I was given a job when I didn't know anything about the position and just grew in responsibilities with a good boss. Bad salary wise but good benifits where I can choose my own hours and stuff like that.

With a year and a half experience from knowing nothing about the field, I now have connections to get me into and through law school and a position already promised once I pass the bar.

I'm nowhere near their reported numbers, but then again I'm only a summer intern. But considering that I almost made 6ks in 3 months I don't think that's such a bad deal for me

89% of the average and virtually no benefits. Might be time to move on...

If that's true then you need to contact the authorities now.

It is true.. I am what they call a "stipended consultant" dispite the fact that I worked 40 hours a week during the school year. But seeing as how I am one of the executive officers of the organization .. well.. there isnt much I can do.. lol
