Now that you have explored the national average salaries, let's look at how much you need to save each year to create your desired wealth over the course of your career.
Enter the average starting salary of your major. 
Then choose how much of your salary you plan to invest each year. (Most financial planners recommend this number be between 10% and 20%)
If you plan to work from age 22-67, then keep Years to Invest at 45, otherwise update accordingly.
Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is the amount your investments will increase each year.  (4% would be conservative while 7% is probably reasonable. A10% CAGR that is reported on some investing sites is probably not accounting for inflation.)
