I don't remember saying that $55,000 isn't all that great, if I did then I immediately apologize for being misunderstood lol! I've been living in a family of 3 with around $15,000 a year and we still get by just fine (granted we live in the country), $55,000 a year is just fantastic IMO and I would be MORE than comfortable with that, that can go a LONG ways to someone who doesn't waste it away on poor financial management. =)

Also my husband has a Juris Doctor in Law and makes 60K working for the government. How is that for awful? AND our beloved governor (gagging sound) will be cutting our health insurance, and his salary by 8%. He is kicking himself for not going to medical school; especially since he owes nearly 200k in student loans that he can't afford to pay back.

I have an English degree. The most I can make with this degree in Florida is around 30k if I'm extremely lucky. I've taught school at 27k, and did social work for 23.5K. For a 4 year degree, mine SUCKS. I did it because I love literature. I found out the hard way that I don't have the patience to teach. So now I am looking at going back for a two year certificate, and finding that most 2 year certificate programs will enable their graduates to make better money than I made with a 4 year degree.
