Don't worry about numbers, and as for college, it is great life experience, but nothing prepares you for a real job like having a job.
Planning on it kicking my rear pretty hard. 100 hour work weeks, here I come!

I worked 75 to 80 hours a week, all hours of the day and night as an operations manager my first 5 years in Orlando, but it paid off...now I work 40-50 hours per week, M-F, 8-5, and the money is pretty good.
Hard work early in your career pays great dividends....also, do the hard crap when you are young and your body can take it

That's how I see it. The next 2 years will be like a medical residency... the paying of my dues for a nicer future.
Although, it's not like the pay now is anything to scoff at either.

I thought that was a universal slap-in-the-face irony of life!:lol:
At least you have a job. Better than I am doing right now.
We were hit terribly up north. So many tech companies closed up, and all the call centers and service companies went down south or overseas. So the people who are able to find work pretty much are working for half their salary doing something totally different from what they were originally doing.
DarkMeasures: Wish I still was in High School! After College it's pretty much downhill from there. Word of advice - don't rush into something until you know what you want to do. It can trap you for the rest of your life - take time to figure out where you want to go in life before you get stuck in something.
