Making the Grade:
Playgirl Magazine
September 1985
Part of the charm of a pedigreed degree is the hope of a certain financial reward. Today's collegiates are more pragmatic than their protesting brothers of the sixties. Earning power wasn't a chief concern then. it is now.
In that spirit, in addition to showing you the well muscled state of the student body, we bring you the nice round figures each of our featured scholars can expect to pull in after graduation. Call it the best of all worlds...their education, wealth and knockout looks that more than make the grade.
David Dixon of Albuquerque, New Mexico is aiming right for the top of the status scale as far as his schooling is concerned. He wants to be a doctor. Although pre-med studies are no picnic, David's efforts will be amply rewarded, to the tune of approximately $70,000 a year.
Another computer wiz is Omar Sood, who lives in Downey California. Systems analysts right of out of college can get paid around $25,000, a fact that gives Omar more than a little pleasure.
Can a superjock be brainy? James Warner says yes, and Playgirl totally agrees. James, a New Jersey native, took his mania for sports and turned it into a degree in physical education. His goal is is to be a clinical sports psychologist, and can expect a six figure salary.
David Geraux's big thrill is water related. When he's not wading through stacks of economic books, he's hitting the waves near his Huntington Beach, California home. Once he graduates, David hopes to work as an accountant. If he's lucky, he may get a job as a corporate tax manager, where the starting salary ranges between $30,000 and $45,000.
When you've got a head for numbers, the world is your oyster as far as employment is concerned. Maybe that's why Brian Beasley of Los Angeles looks so sexily self-confident. Brian is going for his engineering degree and as a rookie engineer, he can hope for at least a $25,000 starting salary.
Our resident historian is Vance Pflugrad, a blue-eyed Adonis from Pendleton Oregon. Vance's penchant for the past means he's as happy with a volume on Byzantine social structures as he is around a beautiful woman. Vance hopes to write a book someday, and if his proposal strikes a publisher's fancy, his advance could be upwards of $30,000.
Who outside of players for the NBA earns the salaries in America? Attorneys of course. starting pay for graduates of an elite law school average around $48,000. Such numbers appeal to Scott Gaynor, (above) a political science major from hermosa Beach California.
What's the logical major for Kevin McParland, (below) whose father is a doctor, and whose mother is a nurse? English of course. Kevin tell us he knew he had a flare for words back in the first grade. Kevin plans on taking his talent for communication and seek a spot as a marketing executive. A mid-size company would do just fine, with an attractive pay around $66,0000.
