To The Moon And Back

I’ve been researching the web on IT salaries just in case I decide to apply overseas. My friend recently landed a job with a whopping $75,000 a year as a web designer so you just can imagine my excitement. She said a web / graphic designer’s basic rate is $50,000 annually and the highly skilled you are, the higher your chances of getting a bigger pay. Now, she works in New York so I’m not exactly sure if $50,000 a year is doable if you live there. I guess you can always take the train and rent an apartment in Jersey to cut costs. Still, I’m so amazed on how quickly she got the job. If she lived below her means, I’m sure she’ll have no trouble buying her own house. Her fiancé, which is also a Filipino has relatives in Colorado and been wanting to settle there too. If things go well with them, and I hope it will, they’d probably be talking to a Boulder real estate agent sooner than they thought. I’m green with envy as usual, hence my research on IT jobs just to check if there’s something out there for me.
