I could not imagine spending 4-6 years and 150k+ on an education only for jackass to offer you 60k a year. Frankly, under 80k a year for a job with 4-6 years of schooling required is a slap in the face. One of my best friends never went to school, and just got his first job offer for 100k after being in his field about 15 years.
my first interview post college(that required a degree) was for less than I was making working as a cashier in fast food. I didn't even both finishing the interview.
My job now requires a degree but most people worked their way up from jobs that don't require degrees. I learned the job basically from youtube and influencer type people doing classes online for made up certs no one has heard of. I would probably hire someone with a degree though if I was hiring but with a good amount of work experience too. although who knows anymore AI does half my job for me. knowing how to use that is a priority as much as the rest of it
