I think it's a myth that 90% of college graduated guys make more than 55k.
There are many who are doing better but 55k is average... and beside the education system and the economic crisis has "delayed" the age of guys to be settled at 26.
So keep working hard. Having no property on your name is not a biggie either. Most people are financially stable at 32 to 35.... if they are on their own. If it's their daddy's wealth and support then of course it matters that you could be settled much earlier.
Also, remember a girl who brings a guy from back home is not at a competing 55k level. He is mostly at BK/MC D's level. SO don't worry at 26 if you have not touched the stars yet...
as long as you are good at what you do making money is not tough specially 50-60k given you work hard at it. But thanks .
