Ballpark the 80's as 1985 and that works out to 82,604.83 to 99,125.80, for the curious. What most people would consider an excellent salary in their 20s, probably (software engineers in the current market excepted, perhaps).
- m00x 4y agoThere's always a golden job in the era. Back in the 2000s in Canada, you could make 350k/y driving a truck in the oil fields with 0 education. Software engineers are just the new golden job of this era. Even then, it's still considerably harder and has a higher bar of entry than driving a truck.
