If you own a gun and distrust the government and have never read his book "Unintended Consequences"....
HOW DARE YOU?
This book was FAR more influential on my growth and development as an American that the Great Gatsby or the Scarlet Letter or any other forced 'literary' junk in school.

Why are college graduates today so out of touch with reality? I knew about what I was going to make when I graduated.

College graduates are overestimating the salaries they'll start out at by $50,000, report finds
Demand for talent is driving college graduate starting salaries higher but they may fall far short of expectations.

I wonder if these really are averages, or are based on medians. In the CS field for instance it can be really skewed by the right-coast tech industry.Why are college graduates today so out of touch with reality? I knew about what I was going to make when I graduated.

Also - the mid-level career mean salary is now $132k? I'm assuming thats across all degrees and disciplines, but that's mind blowing. Fed salaries have definitely not caught up.
But again I'm guessing that is inflated by the top end.

This even goes back to 2009. My 2 best friends ended up going to App and when they were getting ready to graduate, they both were claiming they were going to be making 80k-100k a year right out of college.... over 10 years later and neither one of them is even close. Not to mention the amount of student debt they have.Why are college graduates today so out of touch with reality? I knew about what I was going to make when I graduated.

Cary has been nonstop growth for 3-4 decades. When we move there in 84 it was tiny, just the small mall and a lot of farmland, something like 20k people. By the time I graduated icollege in 99 it had already passed 100k.Wake County is the third-fastest growing county in the US. Here's how leaders are preparing.
