i graduated in May 2004 also, with a C.S. degree. i just started my new job actually September 13th, so this is my 3rd week here.

I am doing software engineering. The salary is $45k/yr + benefits + 2 bonuses (1 xmas, 1.5%, and the other is profit sharing in the spring, which is ATLEAST 6% [ last year was 14% ] ). So it is going to average around $50k after bonuses i'm assuming. btw I'm in Maryland, and it took me about 2 months to find a job after I really started looking.

Which company?

Nemetschek. They create Vectorworks. website is www.nemetschek.net , i dno't feel like linking

No but when I talk about money years ago some people think so.

The year I started my first real job was 1957. $3000/annum was the starting salary for a school teacher in CT. That's not what I was but I thought I'd give you a frame of reference.

House sounds very high and gas is low.
