Average salary of a 21 year old?

Question

I'm curious what the average 21 year old makes a year.

And if you don't mind, you may post your job title and current pay (hourly or salary), and highest level of education. I'm just curious of how the economy is effecting jobs and how I stand with everyone else.

Thanks.

Answer 1

well..from what my friends make...

23 year old GF is a radiology tech (she does x-rays) went to school for 2 years (u have to study anatomy and what not) and she  earns $19 an hour..went back to school for another 6 months to become an M.R.I (she does cat scans for those who got shot gun wounds and what not) and now earns $21 an hour...

my sister is a C.A.D. coordinator (she designs stuff on computer-like toilet bowls..car parts..etc...) went to school for 2 years (studying graphic design- and some geometry and algebra) and now earns $22 an hour...

another friend of mine is an electrical engineer (he does networking) went to school for 4 years (had to study physics and lots of math!! calculus and what not) and now earns $40 an hour (90K a year) he commutes an hour to work (third shift- when traffic is the least)

as for me--i am my own boss (entreprenuer) i do catalog distribution..and earn from whatever i sell. i earn $ based on the amount of effort i put into it..sometimes i make $50 from showing 1 person my catalog..and if i put more effort..i make more--it all depends. but the good thing is--i can work whenever...and i am my own boss..it is ALOT of work..but very rewarding...

i don't think i could ever go to work @ a minimum wage job!! who can live off of $10 an hour anyway in todays economy?? thats like spare change to me now...

Answer 2

A 21 one year old at a company I know of, in the sales department, with a bachelors degree is making $35k yearly – salary full time. Right now with the economy, finding a jbo may be harder but the pay has not decreased.  $32k is average.

Answer 3

I'm 21 and i make about 1300.

Alot of my friends make about the same if not a little more

I would say 1200-1500 is average.

I think it depends on if they are in school or not too because thats the difference of working full time and part time usally.
