well i agree with the part about low wages; i asked an interviewer to show me an example of a real challenge they were trying to solve (or had solved) and let me take a crack at it. instead i was told, "no, no.. please lets see if you can write a function that adds these numbers..." my eyes rolled so far back into my head i just stared at the whiteboard and thought, so you want a grad who can do this with their eyes closed (they have a memorized solution that will in no way predict their ability to solve the real problems) but probably will do it for a pay grade just above "intern".
