Usually a third.  However, lawyers are ethically bound to actually earn the money they make.  That means for a really large award, lawyers will not be allowed to take a third.  For a really large award, they may not even get ten percent.

I assume that you mean a BArch, Bachelor of Architecture. There is no way to tell on that. If you are doing your internship right out of school for licensure, there are a lot of factors that may determine your salary. Where are you doing your internship? How good was your work in college? Are you working for a large firm or a small office? Did you go to a reputable college? Did you earn awards/recognition in school?\n\nAll in all, there is no way to tell. There are people who have been hired right out of our program at the University of Arizona with a $120,000 a year paid internship. Obviously, not everyone is so fortunate. As far as a lower end of the pay range, that would probably involve settling in a field unrelated to your degree. \n\nKeep in mind that having your BArch does not mean that you are an architect. Office internship, typically 3 years under a licensed architect, and then testing for accreditation and licensure are required. I'm at the beginning of that trek right now. Best of luck.

The national average starting salary for a first-year teacher is around $28,000, with the national average with all experience and professional education levels at about $41,000.\n\nWhat this doesn't reflect is that these are gross pay amounts, and don't show the deductions for taxes, mandatory retirement account contributions, health and life insurance, professional dues, continuing education for professional development tuition, etc. Plan on your take-home being about half what your gross pay is. Plus, you'll be spending quite a bit out-of-pocket for your classroom, especially in your first year or two, until you build your own materials and curriculum stockpile.\n\nEach district offers pay based on a state baseline, adding in stipends based on your education and experience, the rarity of your subject/speciality, and the difficulty of the district (e.g. poverty/Title 1, etc.).\n\nVery rarely, a teacher can earn much more... if they have many years of experience, an advanced degree, are teaching in a school offering higher pay due to being in a difficult neighborhood, are teaching a hard-to-find subject like math or science, and also coach/sponsor a couple of stipended sports or clubs. However, someone doing that may be making lots more money, but they can't really have any family or any sort of life outside of the school and the extracurricular activities and clubs.\n\nGet a pay scale from your local district to see what they're paying. But remember, you can't go into teaching if you're planning on making lots of money.

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. . .

Based on my reserach, the basic salary is between $36,000 and $52,000. The variance depends on (1) your experience, (2) the state in which you work, and (3) the size and strength of the firm at which you work.

It really depends on the state you work in. For the Big4 in CA, NY, and other big markets don't expect anything less than 50k starting . I know some friends who've started at 55k in SF and gotten about a 3k signing bonus. Also, if you pass the CPA during the first couple years the Big4 usually throw in another bonus. In middle markets, I've heard you make slightly less, 47k-50k.\n\nIf you work at a midsized firm (e.g. GT) expect about the same/slightly less salary than at the Big 4.\n\nGood luck on your job hunt.

College professor - salary depends on how prestigious the university is and how much research and teaching you do, could be as high as $75k starting.\n\nFailure analysis and forensic engineering - many firms like to hire PhDs, because this credential is important for marketing expert testimony.  Starting salaries depend on your expertise, ballpark $60-$70k.\n\nHigh-end design firms will also hire PhDs, but you will probably get paid as if you have an MS.  Expect $50k or so to start.\n\nAlso, the government jobs listed above are an option.

I used to be a paralegal in Boston, both in a firm and in-house.\n\nYour best place to start is the temp agencies.  There are 7 or 8 temp agencies in Boston that specialize in placing legal professionals.  Register with a few of them, and they will assist you.  You should also place your resume on Monster.com and Hotjobs.com.  Many employers in Massachusetts DO search these databases, and in fact, I got a very good in-house corporate paralegal job in Boston by placing my resume on Monster.com.\n\nYou should also realize that competition is tight for entry-level paralegal jobs.  But don’t let that discourage you.  There IS a job with your name on it!  As well, don’t be too picky with your first paralegal job.  The most important thing is to get your foot in the door and get some experience.  Don’t worry if, in your first paralegal job, it’s not really the type of paralegal work you’d prefer to be doing.  Just suck it up and do well in that job for a year or two.  After you get a couple years experience under your belt, it is much easier to change legal specializations and to secure another, and perhaps better, job.\n\nGood luck!

It depends on the school - if you go to a source like US News, they keep stats of first year salaries for graduates of every school.  Keep in mind that salaries are lower in the public sector than in private.  It all depends on the market and how highly ranked the school is.  For a third or fourth tier school, you may only make $50k first year(but you can make more!).  For lowe ranked schools they may make more like $65-85k.  The average of schools like UCLA law is more like $90-125k.  All of these stats are available from US News, and from the individual schools.  Wages are also higher in places like CA and NY, and lower in other states.
