Career after College

I am a Econ BS and Financial Planning double major at the university of Delaware. I have a 3.57 and am also the tutoring director for the economics club and in a very intense investment club where we invest 2 million of the university's actually money. I am thinking of picking up a trust management minor, and I have recently run into a few concerns. When I get out of college I would like to do something like wealth management/financial planning/Asset Management, but I was looking at salaries online and it was saying things like the average salary for those careers, not for entry level but the regular salaries are about 70-80k. I was wondering if anyone could verify if that is true or not. And if it is, are there any other jobs similar to those that you can make more, hopefully start out with about 70-80k, potentially make up to 150+?

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
