Can you point me to any government jobs that will pay you $100k right out of college?

Salaries are high in the San Francisco Bay area. This goes for private as well as public employees. I would think it's obvious that anyone that lives in a high cost of living area would need a high salary if they are to remain employed. Check this out - not hard to find $100k+ government workers living in the San Francisco Bay area. Did I say 100k+ government workers? It's actually not hard to find $300k+ government workers in that area.
