Depends on the firm and depends on luck.  For pure CS firms, probably 70+.  It's a lot easier to outsource these jobs.  For more finance firms where you'll be doing CS, there's a wider range, probably 60-200+, after bonus, if you're lucky.\n\nCheck salary.com like the person said above.  It's not a bad site.

$60 Grand is not going to cut it. I assume to want to live near a city (I won't say in, because the cost of living in most major U.S. cities is astronomical), unless you decide to move to a place where the standard of living (taxes, gas, rent, utilities, etc...)  is less. The South , especially places like Atlanta, Nashville, and Charlotte, is growing very fast and has a lot of affoadable housing, and a decent standard of living. \nSince you said magazine editor, I'm guessing you want the lifestyle of Jennifer Garner in "13 going on 30." Of course, she was a high ranking editor, and probably earned +$90 G a year. But the glamorous images of life in places like LA, Chicago, NY, Miami, and San Francisco is  EXPENSIVE. Manhattan is notorious for it's high rents and cramped apartments. The MEDIAN home price in Los Angeles is $550,000! (And that's a small house). Journalism is a competitive and low-paying career in the beginning, but if your dedicated enough and willing to put in the grunt work, you can achieve the lifestyle you want, maybe after a few years. \nWe all can't live like the people on "the OC" or those materialistic shows on MTV (Laguna Beach, the Hills, 8th & Ocean, etc...) You need to research to see what it takes to become a magazine editor, what the work is like, how competitive it is to get jobs for the big time mags, and where is the best place to live to become a journalist. Even for college, you need to look at Columbia, UC Berkeley, USC, or Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism. Getting into that industry is tough, but those are the best journalism schools in the nation, and they will give you the skills and connections you need to succeed in that business. \n If you want the MTV lifestyle in a place like LA or NY, then your going to have to make at least $200 G to easily afford the things you listed.

Depends how much better the salary is and how important living in a city is to you. Personally, I hate the small town mentality where everyone knows everyone else's business. So it would take a lot to move me from the city (even though I was originally from the country).

My friend went to St. John's in New York and after getting a AA degree (2 years) he spent another 3 years in Pharmacy School.  He now lives in Phoenix, AZ as a senior pharmacist and makes over $100,000 a year.

It depends very much on where you are working.\n\nIf you work in New York City, or Los Angeles, or some other high priced places, you will make a lot more than you will if you are working out in a rural area.\n\nIn order to make the best money, you must also become a licensed professional. Until you become licensed, you will probably not make enough money to be satisfied.

i have been a mortgage broker in long island now for 6 years and at this point there is still appreciation in staten island the average is now about 7%, again thats the avg. some may be higher some may be lower.  as for NYC you have a great market still for condos and co-ops they havent really slowed down.  \nthe best thing you can do is try to find out from local realestate agent how long houses have been on the market.  that will give you a good idea how the market is.  if you see they are selling under 2 months than you have a hot market.

It really depends on how much experience you have programming. In my experience a junior developer could make 50 to 60k while someone who has been doing it for a few years and is very good can make upwards of 100k.

You need to make at least, bare minimum of $50k if you are to live in the bay area. But if you are living more inland and northern, you can do okay on $35k. Anything more southern add 10k for bare minimum living.

I believe that the industry average is about 45-55k the first year, and over 100k after about 3 years. But this can vary greatly, and most of that industry is relient on how good you are at it. There are also high failure rates, and of course you need to be able to fund your life during the first few months. Very few companies have salaries for such a position, and if so it is marginal at best.

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.
