I like money so much sometimes I use 50 dollar bills as lettuce on sandwiches. That’s not true, but one time I did swallow a nickel. According to TheStreet and figures pulled from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the top ten entry level jobs are probably higher paying than your piece of shit job. That’s right, some idiot kid just walked across the stage and is already making more money than you. If not, just remember that some kid somewhere inherited $20 million and you’re still living at home with mom and dad trying to scrounge up a thousand bucks for a deposit on an apartment. Here are the top ten highest paying entry-level jobs and their average annual salary.
10. Market Research Analysts – $60,300
9. Occupational Therapist – $75,400
8. Statistician – $75,560
7. Financial Examiners – $75,800
6. Civil Engineer – $79,340
5. Software Engineer – $93,350
4. Actuarial Assistant – $93,680
3. Political Scientist – $102,000
2. Attorney/Associate Lawyer – $113,530
1. Petroleum Engineer – $130,280
If you can actually get someone to hire you as a lawyer, engineer or scientist in this job market, I guess you really do deserve that salary.

Thanks for sharing. I’ve been feeling a little too good about myself lately so its nice when my self esteem is adjusted to where it should be.
Political scientists make that much only in fantasy land and the Obama administration, so basically the same thing.
Well done.
Engineering is awesome and pays well. You all should try it.
Where were these lists in high school when I assumed math and science were bullshit and would never be needed outside of school?
So, what you’re telling me is I’m poor. Thanks.
Entry-level associates do not break six figures unless you work at a big name firm; most start out in the 40-60 range, just like everybody else
Most entry level software engineers would make 40 – 50k max. Senior level engineers make 110k typically
Getting an engineering job isn’t that hard if you did anything in college
It is if you went to Iowa
Should’ve been a Cyclone!
Pretty much all of these require grad school. I’ll take $100k less debt and a similar salary 4 years into my career
Actually only two of the ten require Masters degrees according to TheStreet.
*Three Masters and a JD
60K or 130k, big difference between 1 and 10. I did engineering, the entry level salaries are definitely high, except if you have a masters. As for the attorney pay, you’re either making 140k-165k at a big firm or 35k at Starbucks.
Your logic is flawed here because in 4 years, these people with post grad degrees (not all of them but a good number of them) will also be earning big promotions and make much more than that.
Money could definitely buy me happiness.
