This salary discussion has me curious. I am graduating in May. I have (or
will have) dual degrees in MIS and Prof Writing and an internship under
my belt. I'm looking at staying in the Chicago area. First of all, do
I have a decent chnace at finding a job? Secondly, what type of salary
could I expect. I keep reading $25,000 everywhere, but the STC survey
quoted around $27,000 - $30,000.Any input?
