Recent college grad should I make more than 14/hr?

Question:I was just offered a job and it pays 14/hr I just graduated college and Im wondering if this is the norm or should I try negotiate the pay. I know if I dont want the pay they will find someone who will.so I dont want to be to pushy...just want some suggestions as to if I should get more since I have a 4yr degree

Answers:
It depends on what field you are going into. Some fields starting pay is a lot lower than others, even with a 4 yr college education.

If you feel that you are worth more than 14 dollars an hour, let them know that.
it really depends on what kind of degree and what kind of job you have. log on to payscale.com , it may be able to help you. it estimates when you graduate and what degree you have and what the average pay..its really helpful!
$14/hour is $28K/year. Some first year teachers make no more than that. Check Monster.com for average salaries in your area for your position. Are you happy doing what you do?
Wow! that's bad! Cause I know my friend is a fire fighter (only a high school graduate) makes 26/hr and it's only his 3rd yr. As you know, pay increases with seniority. But for your case, 14 per hr is horrible, since your a college graduate. I definitely think you should negotiate.
