Yes, $50,000 anywhere is a good starting salary for a college graduate. You get your experience and your next job will be higher paying.

Yes. It is good for someone 21 and just starting out. In a couple of years when you have experience under your belt and you decide to move on to another job you have a good base from which to start negotiating. Having both a college degree and then some experience under you belt puts you in an excellent position to move up I gave myself a $25,000 dollar a year raise after 4 years when I left one job for another. It was a combination of education/experience and learning how to negotiate a starting salary. (I did a couple of sessions with a management consultant).

It depends on where you live, the cost of living. In Chicago, it's pretty good, especially for 21. In San Francisco, you would be less than average earning.

Average starting salary for bachelors degree only is about 36k, so that is good.
