I know a guy that made 78k his first year but that is a wild exception.
Thank you. You just made my point.

Another thing to consider is that 70k in NYC or LA is worth much less than it is in a place like Charlotte or Atlanta.
Thank you for pointing this out. I forgot to bring this up, but it should be common sense...

I've been out of college a very long time (LOL) and believe me, I feel for all of the current and upcoming graduates. As you mentioned your contacts with the government employees, I would hit them first, hard, heavy and often. Get your name in the pile and keep it there. Second, really utilize the career placement office. When do you graduate? Good luck.
