That will be what you earn at your first job.

Don't tell the people hiring you of course, but if you leave after 12-24 months with some good experience, you'll get a big bump. If you skillset pays 60K with experience, you'll get there or beyond by your second or third job.

Just be sure that it is in an area you're interested in, and you'll do fine. Just beware that working on (VBA/testing/C++) often leads to more (VBA/testing/C++), and of those c++ pays the most.
