Well, yeah...if they are a first year, they were in school making NOTHING, so they are still 20k richer. Also, the first year teacher here in SE New Mexico makes around 40k. Ouch.
ps- farmers can easily make 200k+ a year. Don't let their bitching and moaning fool you. It's just a hard job. I have friends that are farmers (cotton and chili peppers) they make a killing...and when the weather doesn't cooporate with them, they get government assistance.
