>Most people who get a BS in computer science (not as a stepping stone to a PHD or whatever, etc) end up on helpdesks, maybe pulling cable or replacing mice... I'm gonna need to see some evidence to back that up before I believe it. Based on the experiences of everyone I know with a CS degree, that is completely wrong. Are you confusing CS with CIS? >maybe $8/hr no benes at a call center but at least more or less in their field. I made more than $8 an hour at my first retail job. If you have a CS degree and you're making $8 an hour, something is very wrong.
