How much money one will make is often a first consideration after finishing school. I think it should be a second consideration. I don’t think it would be wise of anyone to suggest what you should make. In starting out, be content with pay that allows you to live modestly, but comfortably. If you get a job right off that pays chitloads of money, all the better.

Your degree will make prospective employers consider you more closely, but you have to “sell yourself” and your experience in order to get a good job. Chances are you will have to start out at an entry level position, and prove your worth to work your way up the ladder.

Set goals for yourself, and if you’re just starting out, don’t set your initial goals beyond reach. No matter what schooling you have had, you have to get practical on-the-job training. I would start out with a smaller company with someone who will be willing to mentor you. Commit yourself to working there for a couple of years, then you should be ready to go out and “test the waters” for some of your higher goals.

Good luck in your endeavors.

Ask your classmates. The people I met in class were my best resource for getting jobs and salary information. Years later I am still using my contacts.
