How are so many miscers earning over 100k straight out of uni? (srs)

[Hitz69]

Don't underestimate the importance of working hard in college. I was job-searching 20+ hours a week (including time spent interviewing) in addition to taking graduate-level courses. Whereas other dumbasses were spending all their time partying or playing videogames and graduated without a single job offer. And GPA doesn't matter, though a poverty 3.6 is going to impress exactly nobody.

3.6 is poverty? What planet are you living on? It's WELL above average.

I wouldn't say it's WELL above average. College has been dumbed down to the point where getting 3.5+ is relatively easy if you put in even a bit of effort. Most of my graduating class in accounting had 3.5+

Yeah it's pretty unimpressive, but you can easily make up for it by interviewing well or having other things on your resume. That is, if you even get the chance to interview. Top companies will throw out any resume with a GPA under 3.8.

4.0 was the maximum GPA you could achieve at my school. And you're telling me they throw out resumes under 3.8? BS. What is the maximum GPA where you are at where you consider 3.8 the minimum required for a top company?

[wisdommaster1]

you guys are taking the internet way too seriously today

Shhh the grown ups are speaking son.

TBH depending on the program, having a high GPA is just the tip of the ice berg.

In accounting you need a 3.5+ GPA, solid extra curriculars, and internships to even been considered by top firms.

Too many people are going to college and it's become hugely competitive. Getting a degree alone simply isn't enough anymore

Sorry man, maybe you should have worked harder in college.

"My GPA is good enough, time to go party." - the mindset of future unemployed college grads.

I worked my ass off so I have no sympathy for you.

Are you basing off a 4.0 or 4.2 GPA. And sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you don't have an IQ of 156. You are most likely painfully average. But if you want to believe that a free online IQ test says you're a genius, more power to you.

Bragging about GPA in accounting.

-Working & living in NYC

Where did I go wrong? Did I dun goof?

99.9% are not. I definitely didn't, that's for sure.

[PovertyAMOG]

I can't tell if anything you are saying is serious. You have the social skills of a 5 year old

[JRJester]

Lol.

bragging? I'm stating the reality. It's easy to attain a 3.5 GPA if you try even a little bit.

[GluteusMaximus]

Out of a top MBA program $100k+ is very doable. Out of undergrad? Not a chance.

LMAO, you probably have a 4.0 GPA and only make 90k/year and is proud of it
People with much lower GPA will make just as much as you do, atleast engineering brahs will do

Work smart, not hard *******

Says money doesn't matter - Brags (and lies) about making 120k.

Okay.gif

[Strongelbows]

Brb 70k out of college no experience
brb ~52-55k after taxes and ****

[Steveyblack]

ME brah here. Took ~50k right after graduating. If you like what you do and see youself moving up then there is not a problem with the job.

Every stat in my sig is 100% verified.

GPA doesn't matter except that some companies have minimum requirements for it.

[CharolaisBull]

Where did you go wrong? You should have been making 50K while still in High School like most miscers.

Not srs, your doing pretty good for just out of college. Most kids can't even maintain a good GPA, let alone find a job after graduating.

[demadio]

tell them 100k or fuk off, OP.

[aaronstamp]

besides the oil industry it is pretty rare to start out making 100k+ as an engineer

Am that, in that, and around there

[NeoKantian]

Making 110k a year with Vector Marketing....

[J90]

Are people really able to live on 100k/year? Mind blown

I was making 120k when I was 19 and was barely making ends meet.

If you had an IQ of 156 you wouldn't have "work your ass off" to get a 4.0/4.2 is whatever chitty degree you did. I got a 3.6/4.0 in engineering and only started studying two weeks before my exams, the rest of the year I was partying/doing drugs. You are not as smart as you think, you are just an average joe who tries really hard. Why do you keep avoiding my question about max GPA? Your posting style reeks of aspergers.
