What's your annual salary divided by your SAT score?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Inspired by this thread, I got to thinking about the relationship between SAT score and salary. Please post your annual salary divided by your total SAT score (verbal plus math). You don’t have to give the raw data unless you want to. I’m also interested in years of experience in your present field, where you went to school, and your occupation.

If, like me, you took the SAT before the “great recentering”, you can adjust your scores using this table. If you get a high ratio, you’re either overpaid or doing more with less. If you get a low ratio, you’re either underpaid or were a philosophy major, or both.

I’ll go first.

$62.55 per point, 12 years of experience, went to Ohio State, aerospace engineering.

2

$43.30, 8 years experience, Miami Univ, Marketing

3

$66.66 per point
Civil Engineer
Orange County, CA

4

$23.57 per point, UC Berkeley, victim of dot-bomb economy just post-graduation.

3.5 years’ experience of being overworked and underpaid.

5

Undefined… never took the SAT, or the ACT or any test of that ilk.

I took a couple of years off after high school, then went to community college to get back into academia.

6

$72.11/point, 18 years experience, West Virginia Univ., Computer Science

7

An even $31 per point, 10 years out of undergrad (and 8 out of grad), Trenton State College, English major (linguistics in grad school)

8

$39.46 per point, about 5 years experience, University of Vermont, Theatrical Technician

9

about $40/point - (I took the ACT and had to guesstimate)

14 years experience - Government drone

10

<sigh> Those buttons are too close together. Sorry for the double post.

another depressing thread I don’t know why I read, let alone respond to:

2+ years post-Ph.D. in biochemistry, still a Postdoctoral fellow.

18

$38.19 per point

I assume that the “Great Recentering” took place in 2000, based on your linked table?

As of right now? $3.62/point. But I’m a grad student with an incredibly low income right now.

If I go to my last salary at a full time job, I was at $29.39/point.
