IT (And Other) Salaries On The Rise In The U.S.

pertinax18 writes "CNN Money is reporting that salaries for most college grads are on the rise once again. Especially interesting to collegiate (and other) /. readers may be the 4.1% increase in pay for CS grads, and 10.7% increases in pay for others in the field. From the article: 'If those numbers sound enticing, it's probably because computer science graduates are long overdue for a pay increase. "They haven't seen an increase since 2001 and this is the first year, in all four reports, that they showed an increase," Koncz says.' Are things finally starting to look up for us?"

    It'd be nice if Slashdot could actually interview him and Kerry. Maybe they could even host an online debate.

    LOVED the ITT reference. You couldn't be much closer to the mark. I (I can't believe I'm admitting this on /.) went to ITT for about 6 months many years ago for CAD. What a JOKE! It was glorified high school. I don't even bother putting it on my resume... to many people would immediatly throw it in the trash. I ended up quitting after my 3rd instructor (in 6 months) quit. Plus, I got more out of my high school CAD class than anything ITT had to offer. I hear them running adds on the radio for their new "IT" course. I laughed. Here's some advice: Don't waste your money on ITT Tech. Go to your local community college, it's cheaper, and you'll end up learning alot more. Just my 10 cents.
