<p>Why someone decided to bump an 8 year old thread is unclear to me but you can find current data on MIT graduates earnings here <a href=“http://gecd.mit.edu/sites/default/files/graduation12.pdf[/url]”>http://gecd.mit.edu/sites/default/files/graduation12.pdf</a>. You can find mean starting salary by major and field although I think bonuses are not always included which skews some of the data. The response rate is also pretty high so it presumably representative of the entire class unlike other sources such as Payscale.</p>
