Yes big money for back then, but still wasn't straight out of college. The point here though is how what sounds like big money to a Boomer really isn't anymore, and those lucky few Gen Zs who manage to get 6 figures are by 1980 standards getting a very average salary. $100K today is $20K 1978 dollars. Your typical middle management drone made $20K. Union Plumbers straight outta HS made $20K.
