$6.25 and hour because they have to start working at Burger King as soon as they graduate.  Later, if they are lucky and savvy enough, they will get a grant to do research.

45K is a good starting salary for many occupations.  The cost of living for your area is really a factor, as well as the skills that you have.\n\nA better question might be "What is the average starting salary in my geographic area, in my field of expertise".  Not knowing your geographic area, or expertise, all we can comment on is the number.\n\nThe number 45K is high for a lot of college graduates across the country.  I know of many who start in the 20's, who don't have good grades or applicable skills.  On the other hand, if you are graduating from Medical School, and setting up practice in California, then perhaps you should be looking for 100K+!\n\nCheck with your school, to see what the average starting salaries were last year.  Most colleges track this information.  It helps employers and employees!

Average out of college bio/life science job starts at around USD 30K. Assuming you have three years of experience, and if you were working for the company, you'd receive a 5% raise each year for the job well done, you're looking at $35K as target range.

No, not all meteorologists end up on TV. Television is one of many options a person with a meteorology degree has. As a forecaster you can work for the National Weather Service, the military, and private forecasting companies who serve stock brokers, to name a few. Many people go in to research where they might study specialties such as severe weather, tropical weather, or weather and climate impacts on society (which is what I do). Their day-to-day job tasks are too numerous to name here, sorry.\n\nMeteorological jobs have a broad salary range based on your education, experience, and employer. Like all jobs, the longer you are there the more money you usually earn. Many people I know with only an undergraduate degree have had a starting pay between $20,000 and $30,000. Others I know who have a master's or PhD have been able to start their first job at or above $35,000. Pay goes up quite fast for many government jobs, but not as fast for private company jobs.\n\nAs for benefits, I'm not sure. However, most university and government jobs that I know of have decent insurance programs and vacation benefits. \n\nOverall, most meteorologists are not in it for the money! You have to love this field to succeed and be happy!

That depends on the location and what languages you are proficient with.  As an entry level you will probably find ranges between $35K - $50K.

it depends, an economist for a private company will make more than one employed by the government; an auction appraiser will make more than a land appraiser. An electrical engineer (i know i am a mechanical engineer) will start out of college at 40-60k and go up into the 100k+ range.

According to CNN last year, starting salary for a chemical engineer with a BS is approximately $55k. Obviously, this might be a little less in a place like Florence, SC, which has a lower cost-of-living versus working in NY, where you should be offered 2 or 3 thousand more/year. Masters degree holders usually make about $4k more than those with bachelors, while PhDs trend about $18k-20k more than a bachelors. Of course, all of this depends on how long you've been working there, seniority, etc.\n\nAnd then there is being a grad student in chemical engineering. You will get between $20k-25k/year, and wonder each day why you didnt take that job in Spartanburg. . .

Depends on the school and your level of education and whether you are hired as an associate professor, lecturer, department head, etc.  Also depends on whether your postion is temporary, term or tenure track.  But generally they make more than teachers in the school system.  A full professor would earn more than $100,000, while an assistant or assocate professor would make only about $60,000. And you wouldn't start as a full professor.  You have to work your way up in the university system.   Starting salaries can be quite low - as low as $35,000.  \n\nI hope this helps.
