Which graduates are most likely to make 50k+ in their careers?

He's 26 and a senior data analyst qualified in SAS & some Actuarial studies

Thats why I adressed this in the post apart from medicine and dentistry, all other degrees' worth is based on the university its from.
I think a lot of people dont realise how much 50k really is on TSR too. Outside of London, 50k is a SERIOUSLY good salary.

Law/accounting jump after you complete further study/professional qualifications.

Law is 30-40k straight out of uni, then 2 years training contract after which 50k+ is the lower end with some firms as high as 100k + bonus.

Accounting is 25-35k for the first 3 years while doing qualifications, but jumps after that closer to 45k - most leave accounting after that to climb the ranks to CFO in industry or pursue other opportunities, but 50k+ 4/5 years after graduating isn't a stretch.

Unless your saying that most law/accounting grads don't get jobs as lawyers or accountants - to which I have no idea about the actual numbers, but I'd disagree.

As for the OP, for most careers the specific degree doesn't really matter, so the question doesn't make that much sense.

The degrees that can earn you 50k are those degrees that can get you jobs in banking (50k+bonus to start), law, accounting, medicine, dentistry etc. Obviously uni/extra curriculars etc come into play here as well. These things will get you to 50k very quickly, but it's possible to get 50k without a degree/from an average retail grad scheme/starting a business etc.

Pay in America is hugely dependant on salary

From a pharmacist's perspective: hospital pharmacists, industrial pharmacists, and some community pharmacists

wow, thats odd, learn something new every day.

Why is that odd lol. Do you think dentists or doctors trained at one uni are going to be less able than those trained at others? That would be absolutely ridiculous haha. Its the same reason why AAA is the entry requirement at every uni.

Blind to what? You have ABSOLUTELY no evidence for your bull**** claims
Dentists who graduate from UK schools apply for foundation places - the application is university blinded. They work for a year for a 30k salary. After this they apply for an associate position showcasing how they did in VT. They are self employed at this point and get paid based on how many UDAs they do.
Medics apply for FY1 (also university blind) and if and when they want to go into specialist training they have to sit exams and on passing these exams and showcasing their ability they get places on their chosen speciality. Every single medic in training is paid the same salary.
NOTHING TO DO WITH UNIVERSITY.

Why is this? Is it because the rents really high in London?

But medics who graduated from some universities are more likely to pass those exams than those who graduated from others.

There is still some differentiation between the quality of education at different medical schools though... They all have to adhere to a minimum standard, but that doesn't stop some schools going far beyond that. Plus they don't all require AAA - off the top of my head, at least five ask for A*AA for medicine.

What have you been smoking? ������������������ Maybe those figures are accurate for the prestigious firms in London, but only the best of the best will get a chance to work there - the vast majority of law graduates will be at high street firms (that's if they even get a job, what with the massive surplus of law graduates atm) and will be lucky to hit £50k in their 40's!

That's like 237k a year! What does he do?? And how old?

I make over 50, as do many of my colleagues and they live very close to the city. No one actually lives in "The city" as it's all businesses.

Hi, do you know if he taught himself SQL/SAS etc... or did his company offer training for that/not required? Also, would you happen to know if he joined as a junior DA with zero relevant experience or did he have something prior to that role?
Thanks.
