Yup, I remember my freshman year at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 2005. The computer science department boasted that its graduates had the second-highest starting salaries of Cal Poly alums: $50,000. The department with the highest average starting salary was aerospace engineering: $55,000. I remember being blown away around 2007 when I heard of a master's student making the equivalent of $70,000/yr during a summer internship. Those were the days.
