depends on the industry. for wall street people 55K base is standard then a large bonus, and that is probably one of the most highly paid entry level jobs. It all depends on what industry. People here in NYC doing advertising will make 30 - 35k their first year, whereas an investment banker may make 70-80k.
These are the two ends of the spectrum. In the midwest you will be happy if you can get a job for >40k after graduation. My friend who just started with ACN got a 50k offer, which he says is pretty standard there. In the overall job market here, I don't think many people are making 60k straight out of school |

Wow, I just about fell out of my chair! I graduated in December 2001 (a horrible time in the job market) and after 6 months of every temp agency, recruiting agency, job board- you name it, I took a job for $28K, yes that's 2-8 a year. I've been with the same company for three years now and I'm barely at $34... I can only dream of $60!
