<prompt> Human: Hey guys! How are you? My name is Mark and I am 19 years old. I live in Argentina and just returned from a trip to the US and decided that I want to live there in the future. The people and the social structure is completely different from my country. I feel that I am not part of the society I live in here in Argentina. Right now I am studying Mechanical Engineering on a recognized college and I am thinking of doing my masters on the US and then stay there. I have a few questions:1 How much does someone needs to earn to live a comfortable life?With a family For example: Go out to eat to a fine place, Travel in and out the US, buy stuff. All of these whenever I please doing so2 Is engineering a good discipline to achieve this goals? Im planning to maybe start a start up.Thank you very much for your advice!  <response>: 1 Around 60k-75k for comfortable recreation house retirement. If you have a spouse to split costs with youre in great shape, kids will make everything more expensive. 2 Engineering tends to start around 60k entry level depending on the specialty. Having a masters degree will bump your starting salary into the 75k range if not more. Starting your own company costs money and assumes a lot of risk, that will depend on your own tolerance to said risks.
