If you can land an ME job fresh out of college regardless of the pay consider yourself lucky in Buffalo. Get some experience, then start bitching about not making enough and find somewhere that will hire you for more money.

Just leave Buffalo, or don’t bitch? I make more, live in a lower COL area with a higher quality of life. I don’t get it :shrug:
