Brit CS majors also do badly immediately after graduation. No similar U.S. figures exist reports the Computing Education Blog."

I know this girl, Melody, she makes 4x that amount per hour, however she only works 10-15 minutes stints, about 8-10 times a day. She also could just throw a dart on the map and find a job in her area of expertise there (unless it's in San Francisco or in Utah, but for different reasons).
