28K not bad to start with
Yes 100K to train is alot of lids.
If you don't progress then you are looking at 20 years of 1000.00 a month out of your salary - but we assume you'll progress.
Those of us who've spent 4 years in college will come in at the bones of 50K (that was 20 years ago). with digs etc. So education is not cheap. Again we've had to make repayments where necessary. I don't know what a college education will cost now.
Then like First Offers it's how well we get on........ie we use our degree to earn as much as we can. Or in the case of a pilot you work your way up the ladder and airline hop.
Most people in any job have issues with salaries in some shape or fashion. Look at people who start business's - they might borrow against their house, or savings - sink it into a business and the business goes bang.
It is the career you signed up for. You were aware of the pitfalls before you began.
