Starting pay for new grads is low $20s/hr. It goes a pretty long way - if you really want to live somewhere awful, you can rent for $300-$400/month. Renting nice places will depend on your city, but may be in the $800 range. Either way, you'll take home at least $2200/month after taxes, so your housing costs will probably be somewhere around 1/3 of your pay or less.

The job market's pretty good - almost everyone who graduated with me had jobs before they graduated, and I have gotten interview call backs for pretty much every job I've applied for up here now that I have more than a year of experience.
