Question: When I was a wee lad, I decided to be smart and pick the Terry major with the highest median starting salary. I just graduated

When I was a wee lad, I decided to be smart and pick the Terry major with the highest median starting salary. I just graduated from UGA as a Management Information Systems major and accepted a job that offers me an annual salary of $79,000(paid in monthly installments) with a one-time signing bonus of $5,000.
I want to get an early start on my savings so I immediately deposit my signing bonus into a brokerage account and plan to deposit 15% of my monthly salary into that account every month until I retire, in 41 years.
What is the future value of my retirement savings assuming an interest rate of 8.7% APR, compounded monthly?
