I was wearing a top hat and monocle in that film for the sole purpose of disguising the fact that I was poor. Thanks for ruining everything, EMCE.

If I could make a 6 figure income i would totally do porn

8/23/2009 9:25:44 PM

Dnl, how is that wrong? It's true for my group of friends.

8/23/2009 9:26:58 PM

I don't know anyone in their late 20's, or anyone in their early 30's for that matter that makes 6 figures

8/23/2009 9:28:06 PM

^^ it's true for people that aren't retards. You have to consider that you're talking to someone that AT MAX will make about 25k a year.

8/23/2009 9:28:31 PM

because most ppl in their mid 20's dont make 50k+ a year?

because most ppl in their late 20's don't make almost 100k per year?

not rocket science

8/23/2009 9:28:41 PM

im in grad school so my income is pretty low ~20k/yr but from what i hear after i get my PhD starting salaries are running about 75-80k

8/23/2009 9:28:55 PM

^same here

8/23/2009 9:29:48 PM

I think one difference is that I live in a slightly more expensive area. Perhaps jobs pay slightly more here to justify the cost of living increase?

8/23/2009 9:29:55 PM

I really hate to agree with DNL on anything, but I agree with him on that one.

$100k+ jobs are few and far between these days, especially if you only have a bachelor's degree

^ and that is also very true. I am basing my response on Greensboro, where the cost of living / average household income is pretty low.

Most ppl in their 20s do not make six figures. Jesus Christ.

8/23/2009 9:30:53 PM

Also, most of my friends are in medical sales or government defense, which may explain the income.

It's not hard to make $100k+ in medical sales. Those guys bust their asses.

8/23/2009 9:32:52 PM

^ that is my ultimate career goal btw, medical equipment sales. I've had a few opportunities, but they all require me to relocate which i am not willing to do

8/23/2009 9:33:56 PM

It's an awesome field. Great job security and you get to play doctor! If you're really good, you can pull $400k per year, but that also requires pretty crazy hours.

8/23/2009 9:37:02 PM

If you check the census Bureau the avg income in the US for someone between 24 and 35 is about 40k a year.

8/23/2009 9:37:44 PM

I wonder what the average is for people with degrees?

8/23/2009 9:42:14 PM

I have a Microbiology degree and over 5 years of outside sales experience, so I am an excellent candidate for that field. When I was single, I was VERY VERY close to signing on with a company to sell their endoscopy equipment. It would have required me to move to Phoenix, so I turned it down. I really thought I made the wrong decision because it would have easily been $200k+, and i kicked myself in the ass a couple time. But then my dad died a month later, so it was a blessing in disguise that I didn't take it. Money isn't everything, and my family is everything to me. Had I taken that job I wouldn't have been there with my dad when he passed, and I wouldn't have been there for my mom and sisters for the months that followed.

8/23/2009 9:42:39 PM

That's the thing. People in medical sales are married to their jobs. They're compensated highly because they must be on call basically 24/7. Thus, less time for family. It's ideal for single folks and families in which one spouse works and the other stays home to raise the child.

8/23/2009 9:45:36 PM

Yes, for free, and no dudes

8/23/2009 9:45:58 PM

Funny thing is, when I turned down that job I was unemployed and getting $400 a week. Like I said, money isn't everything.

8/23/2009 9:47:18 PM

sure, i'd do straight

that average should be higher for college graduates, and this is a college message board here. there are numerous posters on this site in their late twenties pulling six figures.

8/23/2009 9:49:28 PM

No, it isn't everything. Sometimes it's better to get by on less anyway and be wealthy in friends and experiences. What's the point of working 100 hours per week?

8/23/2009 9:50:36 PM

6 figures in Washington, NY or LA isnt as much as 6 figures in bumfuck nowhere so maybe some people on this site are making that.

and yes straight porn.

define numerous, because I guarantee the overwhelming majority of the graduates make nowhere near $100k a year. I would venture to guess that not even 5% of the posters on this site make 6 figures.

and keep in mind that this is the internet, so a portion of those who say they make 6 figures are just lying to boost their e-cred

[Edited on August 23, 2009 at 9:52 PM. Reason : a]

After bonuses, I'm sure there are several who make more than $100k per year. Though, bonuses may be nonexistent for many folks this year.

8/23/2009 9:55:43 PM

several maybe, but when compared to the entire user base it is a drop in the bucket. it just trips me out how people think that $100k is a common thing, and that you are pretty much guaranteed that if you graduate college

8/23/2009 9:56:13 PM

sure, why not

8/23/2009 10:01:06 PM

No, I def understand that some people automatically expect to make $$$ immediately out of school. I know my bro and I bust our asses and make pretty crazy sacrifices (I moved several states away to a place where I knew NOBODY) for my career. It's easier to succeed if you know exactly what you want and give up a lot of things to get there.

That said, there are many times where I miss my family like crazy and feel super homesick. Money definitely isn't everything. And in this economy, it can quickly disappear.

I think base price would depend on the role and what the porn is supposed to be about.

me and lewoods were going to do one... but then she wanted to wear a strap on so I called it off.

if $100k by your late twenties isn't common, then is $50,000 an income you'd see as common for people with a college degree by their late twenties? this whole discussion stemmed from someone saying that $100,000 is several year's worth of money, as in more than two years. 33,000 a year is something almost anyone with a little bit of intelligence, some motivation, and a good work ethic should be capable of earning with just a high school diploma by the time they are in their late twenties.

[Edited on August 23, 2009 at 10:11 PM. Reason : I never claimed $100k was common, but it's definitely not unobtainable.]

8/23/2009 10:08:55 PM

I'd say $50k is way more realistic

as in, pretty much hits it on the head

8/23/2009 10:10:30 PM

And my thought is that if you're making more than 50k at 24 yrs old, then, given raises and promotions/strategic moves, you could realistically make 100k (including yearly bonuses) by 29.
