Whats your major, first job ect.
- Thread starter ISUclones33
- Start date
Psycology '97. First job was as a mainframe programmer in '99 for around 40K. Still with the same company.
First Degree was from ISU in Hotel, Restaurant and Institution Management (if your in get out!) and made $22,000 a year right out of college working about 70 hours a week. Then went back to school 3 months later to get an accounting degree from ISU. 1 1/2 years later landed a job at Principal for $33,000 starting. HRIM at ISU is a very fun major and classes are not that challenging. There is a reason that you won't make much pay when you get out.
Psychology Grad in '02. First job was playing minor league baseball for about $650/mo plus whatever I could make on the side doing clinics, camps, radio, and working on friends and families houses. Gave that up and got a job as a credit analyst around 36k.
Graduated in Fall '96 in Civil Engineering. First job was working part-time for a company that eventually extended an offer for a permanent job when I had full-time offer from another company. Started at $38k for Company A, where Company B was only offering $29k and I would have had to drive to downtown Phoenix.
Note: I moved to AZ with my wife (then fiance) who had a received an offer from Motorola after school, therefore, I didn't have a job right away until I moved down there and looked around.

Graduated in 2001 in Ag Studies. Went to work for a company in SW Kansas. $33,000, good pay but had to live in a hell hole with tons of K-State fans.
Now I am back in the hometown (kinda sucks) but took over the family farm. Really good pay right now.
