Here in the area of the States where I live, a mediocre salary for a college graduate would probably be around $65,000. With the current exchange rates of pounds being nearly two dollars and the Euro similarly exchanged, is this a comparable salary to compensation recieved in Europe? I was wondering if hypothetically I went to say, the UK for a few years to work, would I expect to experience a "richer" (pun intended) job compensation experience than here?

That's considerably better than an engineering graduate salary here in Ireland. What profession are we talking here?

That's a pretty damn good pay for a college grad.

thats a load of crap, a college grad can look at around making 40 to 45,000 dollars right out of school unless they are a doctor

I assume the two would be roughly equal once the countries price level is taken into effect.  You'd probably make more in the UK, but would also pay more for goods, so you'd even out

btw, I'm assuming you're talking engineering, because no other degree makes that much right out of school.

isn't there an internship involved with medicine?

Well, engineering is really a major field since Purdue University is only about 80 minutes away but I didn't necessarily mean straight out of school. I'm suggesting after a few years of work, in which salary and benefits tend to increase at a varied rate depending on profession. On a similar note, the Purdue University PharmD degree (6 years) nets you near $93,000 right out of college if you choose to work it in a commercial aspect as opposed to a private enterprise or nuclear pharmacy.

its still paid, but yes. and most people consider fellowship and internship as still part of schooling for medicine.
