I was on 34K within 2 years of leaving uni, then 80K in my thrid year and 120K in my 4th, so it depends on your occupation a bit I guess doctor stavros, as obviously my numbers were nothing like yours and I bet that lots of city people would consider what I was earning as chicken feed within an equivalent amount of time after their degree, especially if they are at somewhere like goldman sachs and on the bonus scheme!
