Perhaps this is true, but I would challenge you over your use of the word “career.” A career is a weird, organic, practically unplannable thing. If you browse the resumes of relatively successful people on LinkedIn, you will very rarely find anything that looks like “Worked at Company X for 25 years, performing the same general class of duties with gradually increasing responsibility.”
True. Perhaps, I should clarify that I’m looking for my “first step”. What job/career I would do first, before inevitably moving on to something else.
For example, there’s a tendency to fixate on starting salary and mean salary as the only metrics determining income. These are only two parameters of a salary distribution which needs several more parameters to fully characterize—the median, the standard deviation, and the skewness, and how these are all a function of time.
Not to mention there’s also a tendency to exclude benefits and bonuses from the calculation as well.

PS: Also one must consider whether the employer has any donor matching programs, as that’s basically additional salary as far as an “earner to give” is considered.
This is good advice; thanks.
