Price is right

I love stats idk why but i realize you cant structure your questions to strictly.

Lets say you looked at all the entry level just-graduated-college guys who went into a top ibanking firm. You know a bunch of 23 year olds at Goldman Sachs JP Morgan and stuff.

If you looked at all their incomes in 15 years what would you say it looks like. I know its wide, i know some arent even in finance, and i know its almost impossible to say accurately. Give it your "educated" guess.

Ill shoot at 160K with a SD of 80K with a long tail to the right. (everything included)

800+ if they are still on an IB path of some sort. 500+ if they have moved to a F500 type job.
