Graduate Salary Figures

contributed by Michael G. at 01:56 PM on April 01, 2004.

The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) has recently released it's annual survey on starting salries by academic major. Though the survey refers specifically to undergraduate majors, it is heartening to note that Information Science students should expect to receive an average salary of around $41,000. As I'll soon be graduting with my Masters in Information and Library Science (hire me!), that means I should be expecting what, $60,000?

Yeah, I wish-- I'm in NYC and work in a private academic institution and making a little over $30K...Best of luck for your 60K.

There is definitely a difference in payscales when it comes to comparing 'Information Science' with 'Library and Information Science,' it seems that the addition of the word 'Library' implies something like 'hold on, who do you think you are, you gotta work 25 years to make over $50,000' and 'if you are lucky'
