If I was 3 years out of college and not yet working in the field of my college degree.... I would take the job for any reasonable offer. You are only going to get something better by starting somewhere and working your way up.

depends where you're from, cost of living is high in jersey (where i'm from)...

depends on how badly you need a job or can you survive without it, how much you would like or dislike the job, and as for gas .. the age, mileage, and dependability of your car...

I'd take anything reasonable. For my area and education level, I'm looking for 35k but would jump right on 25k right now. The economy and job market isn't in a place where I feel comfortable passing on a position.

Google it...there are many salary comparison sites. Good luck!

I'd say take whatever you can get. Honestly job experience is invaluable and will boost your resume a great deal. That being said, I think a lot of it depends on location, and what your degree is in. Would getting a Masters help you with additional carreer options...i'd say probably...but the initial upfront cost of it might suck and it's still no guarantee.

Good luck to you

A one hour commute to work is considered an extreme commute. Most people only commute 15 minutes to work, and 35 minutes is considered a long commute per the U.S. Census Bureau. If they give you at least $35K per year with the chance to advance you should take it. It is better than being unemployed. If you end up liking the job then you should defenitely consider moving closer to work. Good luck!

In today's world unless you can afford to go on with no work I'd definitely take anything reasonable. You can maybe seek out carpool situations later or start up your own. It really saves. Also is the hour commute in heavy traffic or not? I've worked 45 minutes away once was opposite the rush hour traffic which was wonderful low stress and more relaxing.
