The Median wage for university graduate with my major is over 65,000 USD. The Median starting wage is 40,000 USD. The average burger flipping Philosophy degree grad makes over 75,000 USD and nearly 40,000 to start.

My father's degree was in sociology (just an undergrad) and he retired at 52 as a millionaire.

Then why aren't you back home making over 65000 USD?
That payscale may be accurate but it doesn't reflect the job market currently

Gallup pollsters dug up some ugly numbers for April:
Gallup: 1 in 3 young Americans underemployed in April, USA Today, May 09, 2012
A third of U.S. workers under 30 were underemployed in April, according to Gallup.
Compared with older Americans, young adults were more than twice as likely to be underemployed and 50% more likely to be unemployed.
The 32% of 18- to 29-year-olds last month who were either unemployed or working part time but seeking full-time jobs was up 2 percentage points from March and marks the highest since May 2011. Gallup�s measurement is not seasonally adjusted. |
As we see 1 in 3 young Americans are under-employed or not employed at all.

"American adults who hold college degrees are finding it easier to get jobs. The unemployment rate for those 25 years old and over who have at least a bachelor�s degree dropped to 4% in April from 4.2% in the prior month and 4.5% in April 2011. That is roughly half the overall U.S. jobless rate, which declined to 8.1% last month from 8.2% in March."

The unemployment rate for college grads in the states is 4%. Most of my friends that have gone back, have gotten pretty deceit jobs in the US and Canada. I believe Canadian unemployment rate amongst college grads is even lower than the states. In fact, my friends that have gone back to Canada have gotten a little better jobs than my friends in the states. One is broker, five are teachers, and two went to medical school. Actually I don't anybody with a college degree back home that is unemployed maybe they are under employed but not unemployed. However, I know several people without degrees that can not find much work. |
