My boyfriend and I are both FO's ad we dont live in a house with 6 other FO's or eat top ramen..... Get in the industry when your young and can afford to make no money. I am a new FO but he isnt, and he is not uphappy..... A BMW, an Audi and a nice apartment downtown....I'd say we live pretty well I think, of course I dont own a house or anything, but Im doing fine for being 22, and all my friends from college dont even have jobs and live with mom and dad still...... Of course I guess student loans would be a problem.... Guess we are lucky in that respect
