which of these two is more natural?

[Nessie]

Hi,
Which of these two sentences do you find more natural:

1. A new graduate as you can't earn $40000 a year
2. A new graduate like you can't earn $40000 a year

Many thanks,
Nessie.

Hi Nessie,

The comparison is with the pronoun 'you' and not with the verb and therfore you would say: 'like you'
