think about his, 4 years in college will probably cost as much as one year salary for a zoologiest. with intrest, that will probably take 15 years to pay off.

Making 50K is good.
Doing what you like is priceless.


Dr. Deth
if you had to live on the California coast - 50k isn't that much and not every single zoologist makes that kind of money - I seriously doubt you'll make it right out of college - you might only make 30k - I can't imagine there are a lot of openings in that field and depending on where you live, you might have to relocate far away to get a job - it's a not a field like accounting or nursing with lots of jobs available pretty much anywhere

50k sounds a little high for zoology. I would be very happy with this salary. I had a friend who studied zoology, and she was paid 11/hr at a zoo. Her responsibilities and education were worth way more than 11/hr, but that is how the field of zoology is. I'm sure you would make more than 11/ hr outside the zoo, but 50k is unlikely. Are you basing this figure on zoologists with many years of experience? I honestly don't think you will be making that much right out of school.

Go for what you want to study. What may be a small salary for some is large for others. If you grew up in a family that made that little- 50k is a very small amount for a combined income- you are likely used to not having the luxuries. You are capable of living frugally and that is an asset!

50K a year is middle class. Don't listen to others. Imagine a job that you'll love and getting paid for it, nirvana!

50K is a lot of money from where I stand. However, cost of living is lower where I live and I could support my family and pay my college loans with that. But, in todays lifestyles where everyone wants to make 6 figure income it may seem low. If you are wise and careful it could be enough for you to have a comfortable life and do something you can enjoy doing. I say go for a career that will make you happy and enough money to keep you feed, housed, clothed and allow a little savings to add up. A high paying job does not mean an enjoyable career. Happiness must have some kind of $$ amount attached.

if its doing what you love then money isnt everything. 50k is decent

It's all about life style. I would jump for joy for half of that! How many will you be supporting? Will you be aiding aging parents? Will you have raises that account for inflation. Inflation can cut your buying power in half in a few years.

A lot of money is what a person makes of it. Some people with $5000 saved consider themselves rich. $50 grand is a good ann. salery for most people.

go for it -- always work at a job you are happy to see monday morning roll around and do not worry about the money!!!


The Scorpion
It just depends on how well you manage money. 50K is about what most Americans make a year. It's average. The key is how much you save, and don't waste.


pinkp0werx
my dad makes 3-5K a week. But he has 4 kids.


Ssargentslayer
i'm suprised that they support a family on 40 k a year


TT
If that is the starting out pay yes I would be content but if it is the maximum no. I don't know how your parents did it on 40K kudos to them!


zaira h
I make 16K a year n i can hardly pay for ore than rent so yeah 50k is pretty good if u ask me!!!
