Erm. It's the median personal income and more than like 61% of the country's population makes. More than I make after 12 years on the job.
- dragonwriter 8y ago> It's the median personal income But below median for a college graduate, much less one with an undergraduate degree in CS or another high-demand technical field, and way below median (and quite possibly poverty level) for some of the local areas where big-name CS graduate programs are located.
- xiii1408 8y agoI live in a high cost of living area, and starting salaries are usually around $100-140K. Students in my program usually end up paying 40-60% of the base salary toward rent.
