Depends on the area you live in, depends on the work you will be doing, and depends on your skill level.
In most places, you could live comfortably with 60K a year, and you may even be able to save for your retirement. Is it decent? Perhaps YES. Is it A LOT? No... it's not. |

No. Average starting salary for engineers is about $52,000. That's 22 years old making $52,000. After two years, the average engineer would be over $60,000. |

It's a good salary. You are not rich, but you are definitely doing well. If you are living in New York City, this is not as great a salary as if you live in a small mid-western farm community. In other words, your wealth is not just determined by the size of your salary, but also by the cost of living in your area. |

Sounds good to me...but of course it depends on your qualifications, your job, your previous experience and salary... Are you planning on lying to someone about what you make? |

it depends on how long he's been working and if he has a degree in the field he is working in. But I think it's right around the mark. |

That would depend on were you live. In CA no that's not much in some Southern states then it would be. You can go online to the department of labor or the employment office of your state. |

No. It is not "a lot". I am under 40 and make more than that in Houston - which has a very low cost of living. |

Don't think age has anything to do with earnings. For a man with limited education and no trade to speak of, That amount is fair compensation. For an individual with trade school or high school who has a specialized job, he should be doing better than $ 60,000. A college grad with a specialty has to do better than that or it is a wasted education. |

It really depends on where you live and the cost of living in your area. Your education and experience would determine the value as well. |

depends where he lives, if it includes full medical coverage and retirement, and who else he has to support
If it includes everything, he lives in a state with a low cost of living, and he only supports himself, he is doing fine. |

Depends on where you live.That's a pretty decent salary I'd say. But your living expenses are what makes it a lot or not, so if you live in a state where it's really expensive to live, that's not going to seem like a lot. You can look up the average income for your state online though, and check it out and compare it with your own. |

depends on location of that salary. Location, location, location |

IF you are missing limbs, yeah it probably is. |

That is a tricky question to answer, it depends on the cost of living, the lifestyle and the job description. |

All depends where you live. If you live in the mid-west or south that is pretty damn good. If you live in southern California you would just barely get by without having a bunch of roommates |

Depends were you live. |

22 year old computer science graduates make that right out of college. Provided they graduated from a good college. |

Age has nothing to do with it.
Yes, $60,000 is a very good salary except in New York City. |

That's rude to blast out your salary in front of everybody, and ask them that because you know that they are going to say yes most likely. Rudy |

It is just how much you make, but rather how much you spend... |
