Not saying it shouldn't be more but for a job not requiring a degree good luck making $40,000 if you are 20 years old and have no degree. If you wasted $150K at UND or ERAU than that is your own fault. There are much cheaper ways to do it.
I find it hard to believe you made 26k as a first year FO in 1997. I find it hard to believe any of your statement after having to ask if a 2nd year FO makes 40K. You are out of touch with reality if you think a normal second year FO makes 40K. It is possible if you have no life but for a normal FO there is no way. My W2 for a full year of FO pay my first year was under 19K, five years in and I still haven't had a W2 over 40K yet.
