Sales Associate is the number one most common job held by college students after graduation, with a median income of $38,000, followed by Research Assistant, and Teaching Assistant. Less than half of the jobs’ salaries met the $40,000 mark, with two of the top five below $30,000. Teaching Assistant made a measly $20,000, while the highest earning starter career, Software Engineer, reported $90,000 in base pay. (Real Simple, Glassdoor)
