Have you ever heard of this awesome website called google.com?!?!
If you're GOOD, then yes. If you're bad at it, you'll make very little, probably working as an accountant for windows and doors telemarketing owned by a Ukranian couple haha.
Define "expected".
You can make anywhere from $35K to $800K.
I'd say the range is more like $12.00/hour to $3B.
Key word in the title, "salary".
I'd say for a guy just out of an undergraduate program, yes. I can't recall any other salary paying profession giving away that amount of money for a 22 year old. As a lawyer you won't make as much and as a doctor you will be still studying. After some years it varies a lot.
Engineers often have slightly higher starting salaries, but their ceiling is a lot lower.
Law is a crap shoot, if you have some connections, then go with it. Docs have a great gig, yes it took a lot of school but in the long run it is the SAFE play (unless you are a primary). Finance is for gamblers and job security is tough to come by.
Interesting article, however I am sure the graduates are from low ranked schools.

Touche...I skimmed over that part. Too busy thinking about Ctr + Shift + Weekend (to steal from UFO's other thread).
keep in mind once you work for a few years in IBD, PE, HF, your bonus will equal if not far surpass your salary. even MD's may have salaries around $200k but take year end bonuses in the millions.
