I once found some site that surveyed something like 11,000 people with different college degrees and said how much each one was worth based on what the surveyers said they were making, I never bookmarked it and I really need it now to help me choose my bachelors, does anyone have a link to this site?
Thanks.
Website that shows Salary by Degree?

However, let me say this, and please take note. Do NOT pick a job based on income. You need to find something you enjoy. That is the only way to make a good living. Patent lawyers might make a huge salary, but they have boring jobs and work long hours. The same can be said of investment bankers. Sure, they can make $200k in a year, but they also work 80+ hour work weeks and are generally pretty miserable (considering you are even good enough to get an investment banking job). Getting a job based solely (or even mostly) based on money is a sure-fire way towards an unfulfilling career. Do it for the love, and the money will follow. If you follow the money, you'll know no happiness.

Is America brain washed into going to college?
I make 35k a year. This is starting salary. I do pest control. I work like 5-6 hours a day and I get 3 months vacation in winter by default. However people making less than me with college degrees are telling me to go to college. I don't get. I will make 40-45k next year.
I read these "average salary" surveys. They say average salary of some one with a 2 year degree is around 32k 5 year 40k and masters is like 50-55k.
I mean if I went to college for 6 years. Probably cost 100k to do that+ the loss of 6 years pay of not working. So the total loss, assuming in 6 years my 6 year average salary is 45k a year, would be 370k not including interest. I am getting the impression that people with college degrees, hate people who are successful without a degree. I don't even think people care how much I make. Will I ever get respect without a degree and a G.E.D?
What if every American went to college?
40 million poor people in USA 40 million crappy Jobs. Would they dissapear? NO
Is America brain washed into going to college?
Here's the real question you have to be asking.In five years after your friends graduate who will be making more money.Now I will not state that they will,but chances are they in fact will be.That being said,some jobs with 4 years exp.(while they were in college) you will come out way ahead.Then in some jobs degrees are required (doctors,engineers,et,all)Remember Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard and he seems to have done well.Most service jobs and sells jobs dont require college.But most technical jobs do.So depends on what you want to do.By the way I have a degree and no one gives me respect because of it, mainly because who cares if I went to college.It doesnt usaully come up.
Reply:Yes.
Americans are unhappy because we believe the grass is always greener on the other side.
We believe if we go to college, we'll land a job we love, and while that sometimes is true, most Americans hate their jobs. The businessman with a Bachelors degree who makes $40,000 a year is just as miserable as the construction worker who makes $38,000 a year. The standard of living is too high for most Americans regardless of education and job title.
Any moron can get into college in 2007, so looking down at someone without a college degree doesn't happen often anymore.
Reply:I don't think you are getting as much disrespect as you think you are. You make a salary that are a pleased with, and you don't mind the job that you have, that is what matters. You can afford the lifestyle you want to lead. You don't want to go to college, don't. I also do not agree with the fact that you say people who spend time in college must be jealous of the people that make just as much without college. Some jobs can only be reached by going to college, and some people go simply for the experience and to meet new people with similar interests. Throughout your rant you state how people are "predjudice" against you because of your lack of G.E.D. and college background, yet it sounds to me more like you are the one "predjudice" against people that do go to college. While college is not for every person, it is hardly a waste. You can improve a skill, and put it on the back-burner if that is not what you want at the time. Some people don't want to work in pest control ... if every person thought the same we would have no variety in the world. So stop worrying about what people think of you, stop complaining, if you are content with your like that is all that matters.
Reply:Looks like that bug spray is affecting your brain!
It's not all about the salary. What are you doing to change or impact the world? Will people remember you after you are gone because of the wonderful contributions you have made?
That's the way you get respect. Look at Mother Teresa. Very little income, but very big in respect. Nobody even cares if she had a college degree.

Should neighbors split the cost of a fence?
Neighbor needs fence for pool. Mom does not need fence but could use money for other maintenance on 200 year old farmhouse. Ex-husband does not provide enough child support for two kids. He conveniently was 'disabled' at the time of the divorce but now makes double his previous salary and cannot be brought back to court until 2 years after divorce date. Neighbor insists on splitting cost claiming that existing fence (in terrible condition) belongs to Mom. Fence curves around to gate to neighbor's back yard. Fence belongs to neighbor according to property blue print (mom's survey) It was explained to neighbor that mom cannot afford to pay for half of fence and neighbor is angry. Should mom pay for half of fence?
Should neighbors split the cost of a fence?
Ask Lawyer ... for better result!
Reply:no, typically if the fence is on someone elses property, it doesn't matter if it divides their land from yours. Unless your mom is "hooked up" to his fence, then that shouldn't matter. and if it is your moms fence he can't take it down, but he can put a fence next to it.
Reply:If the fence is on your mom's property, then your mom can tell the lady to build her own fence on her own property. But your mom in not obligated to do anything if its on her property. For legal reasons, I wouldn't let the lady touch your moms fence unless she puts in writing (notarized) that she will fix it for 100% of the cost.

Question for staffing firms, recruiters, or people familiar with a wide range of jobs/careers.?
I dont know what is better for my future. A underwriter or a comercial electrician. I want to do what would pay me more in the longrun. I think I would like both. I will be moving to Chicago. As a commercial electrician I would eventually end up making 36.20 a hour plus 1.5 for overtime. Then if I make it to a management type position I could make 40 an hour. Or use my training and degree to become a estimator. BUt i'm not sure what I can make as a underwriter because the salary surveys arent accurate.
Question for staffing firms, recruiters, or people familiar with a wide range of jobs/careers.?
I don't know much about a job as an electrician, but I have worked for underwriters. They pull in a lot of hours. A lot of travel as well. Building up a client base would be the toughest part of the job. I'm not even sure how much they make but by the houses they have and the cars they drive, it's some serious dough. Underwriters are usually highly stressed (from what I've experienced.) Meeting quotas will do that. However, it all depends on the company, the line of insurance and how easy/hard it is to get clients.
If you go the underwriter way, be prepared that it would be slow starting. Unless you're taking over a position of an underwriter, you won't have much business (clients)
Reply:Don't pick based upon salary, go with the one you think you will want to get up everyday and do...for the rest of your life perhaps. Or, if you do decide to go with a job/career based upon money alone, save most of that, because one day you'll want to quit and you might not know what the heck it is you want to do. At least you'll have some money saved.
Reply:commercial electrician will give you more independence. under writting have to be dependent on many others.Both are a pole apart. what you like more?

Good base salary in London?
Don't mean to offend anyone, so apologies in advance - I know this can be a sensitive topic. I'm moving to London from NYC where I earned a good base salary and bonus in Finance. I have no idea what I need in order to live the same lifestyle in London, and all of the charts and surveys don't really apply to me (young, single, no dependants, etc). Is 95kGBP base plus bonus enough to have a good lifestyle in central London with a nice apartment and car? I like to go out and have a good time, and the # value of the income is below what I was making in the US, so I am concerned especially given the exchange rate lately and the notorious reputation London has for a high cost-of-living (ranked 4th this year worldwide). Thanks for your help!
Good base salary in London?
95K certainly sounds like more than enough to live on, but if you have expensive tastes, that will affect your decision.
My advice would be to find out before you leave what area you'll be working/living in, and how much you'd need to pay for the kind of apartment you describe.
Public transport in London is fairly unbearable, and traffic makes driving to work unreliable, so I would recommend finding an apartment close to work if possible.
For property research, I'd start off with Foxtons; they have a good list of suitable corporate-let properties, which will act as a guide.
http://www.foxtons.co.uk
Good luck.
Reply:I fully agree to the answers above especially concerning the fact that it all depends how you define a nice apartment, how central you want that apartment to be and what you do to have a good time.
Also totally second the option that living close to work is a very good idea, driving to work is if anything even worse than using the public transport.
What I just want to say is that it seems inevitable to me that you are going to have to take a (small) step back. You will be earning less, are faced with an unfavourable exchange rate and cost-of-living in London, especially with regards to rent are higher than in NY. On the plus side, you will have a change of scenery and a chance to go to Brighton in the weekends, haha.
Reply:That is a very good salary - more than four times the national average, and still more than three times the capitals average. Even in pricy London you will be able to have a pretty good lifestyle earning that much
If you are not absolutely set on central London you might like to check out Docklands for accomodation - the Light Railway will get you into the city very quickly, and you will have a choice of various converted warehouses or amazing newbuilds to live in. Plus lots of bars and restaurants on the dockside.
I will expect dinner when you're settled in!
