I don't think you can just look at a salary to measure success.. I think you also have to look at the upward mobility of the company as well as the location. Because 40 Grand in the south can get you a house and you still won't live paycheck to paycheck. 
40000 teaching. I thought I was doing good...i quickly realized you cant really live off of that if your out there by yourself (you could make it work in a 2 person household, but still would be hurtin)
....completely jumped shipped, and changed careers, and now bringing in 60,000+

Company I interned for throughout college tried to pull that bs on me (a lil more, but still under $20/hour).
I was like
fukk y'all. I worked there for the summer, then said "deuces, I'm going to grad school" abruptly in the September. Since I graduated right after the stock market crash, weathering the storm in grad school (for free of course, as an engineering major) worked out great for me.

im not a cool guy anymore
I majored in journalism ... thought i was going to write for music magazines for a living 
Oops.
Ended up working at a newspaper and writing freelance. Made like 20k to start. Pathetic. Took on extra responsibilities, basically trying to get a 30k copy editor job. I live in a low cost of living area (midwest), but that's still struggle wages.
That was short-lived ... took a different path, got my MBA, and the wife and I have managed to make like 8 times my original struggle (no IT) between us. She makes a decent portion of that, though.
And I still don't feel like I have money. Lifestyle adjustments are a bytch.
