MY JOB
Better with experience
The salary for a position like mine starts at $45 000 per year, but I've heard of people making up to as much as $92 000.
You can only get a wage like that after you have lots of experience and I think that's the most crucial point. Many university students have an expectation that when they have a degree they deserve a big salary right away.
I got my degree in 2005 and I'm just a junior right now, it's a stepping stone to a better position. But the more experience you have, the more potential your salary range can have.
