For the MAJORITY of the working population, 50-60k is good for a standard 4 yr degree after 2-3 yrs in the workforce. Don't become to out of touch with reality and lose sight of just how well you're paid compared to most ppl.

Yea, you're wrong, I never used your metric as the basis for saying ppl are out of touch. I did say it's 15% higher, which can be a huge relief for many families. The folks I refer to when I say out of touch are the snobby BAs that get brought in at over $70k and still complain about being underpaid.
