Old repost! Always good to hear I'm in the right profession though. :-)

I don't know. I do not make 80K a year yet and I work with doctors that easily make 10 times my salary.

Eh, there's plenty of us making less on this side as well. Which you'd have to figure, what with it being an average and all.

I'd be intrested in seeing what the averages look like once manhatten, la, and the sf bay area are removed from the picture. $80k would be a top level salary for a senior person where i live if available at all.

And only half of them are correct (Assuming a normal distribution of talent and that every thinks that they are above average.)
