Survey finds college graduates have unrealistic expectations about first-year salaries

As universities begin to hold their graduation ceremonies over the next month, college graduates have high expectations for their first job.

I am legitimately shocked that universities would mislead the Pajama Class on salary expectations.

I interviewed a young punk a couple weeks back. Couldn't make up my mind whether to hire the clown or not, but one of the others that assisted in the interview process felt they had potential, so I wrote up an offer letter, only to find out THE CLOWN wanted to start out at $15,000.00 more than the current highest paid person doing that very same job, someone that's been doing it for the past 12 years. Same college degree from the same college (WMU). That would have been a starting salary of $76,500.00, with ZERO EXPERIENCE.

Went to a job fair, high school kids, with no experience. I was there just to see one of my customers. This kids asks me about it. He said, I might be itnerested but, I bet they only pay $10 or $15 an hour. I said, I don't knwo what they are paying for their internship you need to ask them.

Might want to lose the dread locks and get some experience before you go demanding money there buddy. Kid had zero experience doing anything. Zero. And walked up there demanding money. Let's see, they need a grunt labor, the job is to just do what he is told, and be a runner basicially for tools or whatever. And, he walks up there and starts demanding money and tells them they are not paying enough. Go be a statistic then, pal

Your generation raised these shitheads.

No, I did not.

Men can reproduced well into their 80's or even 90's. Most of the people around my generation are good Reagan Republicans. Not this crap.

No surprise that journalism students were overvaluing themselves more than any other group. Of course, if they knew how to do basic investigative research, they would have had the right answer. Irony.
