Editor's Note: All data were collected from employees who completed PayScale's employee survey. Only U.S.-based full-time employees who are paid an hourly wage or annual salary are included. Only employees who possess a Bachelor's degree and no higher degree were included. Careers that require advanced degrees, such as in law or medicine, are not included. Annual salaries include base salary or hourly wages combined with commissions, bonuses, overtime, profit-sharing, and other forms of cash earnings. Mid-career employees have 10 or more years of experience in their field and are typically 42 years old, with 15.5 years of experience. Of course, many graduates earn considerably more than the median.
