    Look for stuff around $40-50K that allows you to work on good projects and if you are not complacent you will be making $60-80K within a few years. I would say though that work experience is very important in this business. Without any job experience you are at a natural disadvantage, once you have at least a few years of work experience and a good portfolio you'll be able to charge more.

    Right out of school there is no way you'll make more than 35K at a design firm, unless you're in NYC in which case you *might* be able to finagle 45–50K.
