Last semester I had been talking to my landscape TA about howm uch I should expect to make. I asked her if I could make 50-60k, because I can live very comfortably on that. She said "Um, maybe after like 20 years..."
I kinda died inside a little, and wondered whether or not it was going to be worth it.
The subject came up again in lecture/studio on Friday, and it appears that there is light at the end of my tunnel!

To be fair your TA might not have been entirely off. Assuming that you get raises throughout your 40 , year career (starting around age 25) the average, (which is what the BLS reports) 60k, probably occurs around 20 years.
Not like you'll be living in poverty at a mere 40k to start though. :p

I should have mentioned that she told me the starting salary was somewhere between 20 and 30k, which is very different from what I can actually expect. :)
