It's worse. I know someone who came out of a 4 year CS degree, knowing only php, because that's as new-fangled a technology as their professors were willing to bother to learn. They ended up going to a boot camp in order to learn how to get anything done.

- michaelbuddy 11y agoagreed. some people still think that you should get out of college and be ready to make 90k in the exact area you studied. That's just not the case with so many areas of study. You can make your way into some sort of company or agency or partner up with a fellow student and start to consult. You might only make 35k for a while but that's how it works. If people know that going in, they probably would budget how they will spend on college in the first place a little better. Maybe they woulnd't accumulate 100k of debt if they knew they'd only be making 32k for the first couple years and have to buy a vechicle on top of that.
