mikesown - You do know that computer scientists have the highest starting salary of any of the engineering disciplines, correct? a "code monkey" at google is typically offered a starting salary of 85k annually with great benefits, working for a great company that really looks after their employee's well being and happiness. Microsoft and Apple are similar, very prestigious and offer very good positions.

actually, on a whole, chem.e's are still the highest starting salaries with ee's a little bit behind. working for apple/m$/or google are EXTREMELY competitive processes and once you get down to the last selection pool they compete vigorously over you which includes a high starting salary. for the most part tho, if you're not in the top 1-2% of your graduating class as a comp. sci., you get paid about half what those guys are paid
