I graduated this summer and Im just after being offered my first real career job. WOHOO!! Anyway I was wondering what all ye graduates earned when you started out in your first proper job. Im not trying to judge what ill be earning cause it obviously completely depends on the area you work in im just wondering what sort of money the different areas earn at the beginning. I dont know mine yet so I cant post anything.

So what area did you study and what was your starting wage?

No one in After Hours could possbly have a degree, you're barking up the wrong tree.

There is a similar discussion, in the Graduate forum.
Link in my signature.

I'm a recent graduate who was working within a week of finishing my final year exams - while this was lame at the time, securing a job in the few months before things really started crashing has been a godsend.

A graduate of media studies, I worked through call centres, onto property sales, property management and now into the security industry.

Quite the natural progression.

Oh and 1st job was about €24k

Graduates and your first job.
