Honestly I know people that went to college for 4 years, became lawyers, finanical consultants for huge fortune 500 companies out of NYC and it took them at a minium 3 years to even make that type of money. Hell my one friend thought he would leave law school and start out with a 6 figure gig. HE was shocked and very depressed for a long time when he looked over his bill from school and then saw his 35k a year paycheck.
Sure there are more things someone could do for 1 year and maybe make more money,but are they legal? But I'm going to go out on a limb here and think you are somewhat young and have no idea. Cause if you did you would either be making more money or not saying that comment. When I was in 11th grade some came into my school and asked us what we thought we would be making or expected to make right out of school in a job. I said 50k and he laughed. I thought he was wrong, be he was right. Dude 50k is not something easy to come by in any job. Look in the papers, internet or where ever and tell me what jobs you think someone can pull in that money with 1 years worth of exp or less.
wow, juggernaut - I have never responded to one of your posts before but I gotta say this was excellent. You are right - I had a govt job that would be considered 'cushy' and it would've taken me probably another 2-3 yrs to make that kind of $ (in comparable CAD of course )

the thing here is that I WAS making 35k, which is not too shoddy, now me - I consider myself lucky to get a cheque each week

but I know that it's coming along. It's getting there that hurts lol, and a lot of folks can't wait that long, that's all.
