You are perhaps generalizing too much. A major factor for starting
salary is WHERE you are, a starting salary in silicon valley is likely
going to be higher then one in Fargo.

That said, I'd say 60k is the upper end for starting salary in most
areas, expect something in the 50s, even lower in some areas.

And remember, for many jobs the initial salary is more like a
"probationary" salary at the beginning, it usually goes up to a more
"normal" starting salary as long as you perform well.
