recent study by the online job listing company Jobtrak.com reveals that 52 percent of college graduates expect to be millionaires by the age of 40. More than 2,000 college students and recent graduates responded to the question, "How old will you be when you make your first million?"

people think to make a million dollars," said Shauna Farber, UCO junior. However, student perceptions of their future income are changing. "With the American economy being bolstered by the e-commerce wave and game shows giving it away, being a 'millionaire' is a much more obtainable goal than it was 15 years ago," said Carolyn Ford, campus recruiter at Deloitte Consulting. "In the past, the main way for people to make a lot of money was to pick the right stocks and have cash to invest in them. Now-a-days you just need to pick the right company, start-up or technology and invest your time and effort in order to have a chance at the big money." Some students are more optimistic than others about their future income goals. "Hopefully I will have my first my million by the time I am 30," said Erin Miller, UCO sophomore. ♦
