Do you think $19 an hour starting wage for someone with aBachelor’s degree is okay? (Ohio)

Question

Answer

It depends on so much more than just a bachelors degree. What’s the job? Is the degree relevant to the job? Do you NEED a degree in that field or is it just better to have? What do people without degrees make? How quickly will you get promoted/raises/bonuses? Etc

Answer

Hell no ! People with no GED or hs diploma make more than that right now at warehouses. Never would I accept that as starting pay for a bachelor's

Answer

Does it work for you? Are your bills covered and able to save well? Do you think you deserve a different amount? I have no idea what cost of living is in Ohio, so I have no idea.

Answer

Depends on the job really. I put a pause on my degree because most jobs I’m going for are sitting at $15 an hour but I make $18.25 at a factory 😅

Answer

Depends on what the job/field is, what other benefits are included?
Annualized it’s about $40k a year before any deductions. I’d say it’s a bit low

Answer

yes and no. it isn’t terrible. but you could get this pay somewhere without a degree.

Answer

I guess it somewhat depends on what the degree is in and what the job is. I’ll make more than that with an associates degree starting out, but my degree will be a nursing degree. Some degrees are not known for having high rates of pay associated with the jobs that they qualify you to do. Where I live, $19/hr is good and is a livable wage - and wouldn’t be terrible as a starting wage. I don’t know enough about Ohio to say how it would equal out there.

Answer

No. But I don't think that's a high enough wage for any position 🤷

Answer

With a degree absolutely not!! I make 16/hr at cvs with no degree. Keep looking good luck

Answer

I mean i started at 15.32 with a bachelors when minimum wage was $12 at a job that i had already been doing for 6 months. My husband works a job that doesnt need a degree and he makes almost $30 an hour at a distribution center. It all depends on what youre doing
