I know a guy that works in the finance department at UVSC. His rational for the difference in pay is that a good portion of UVSC grads are people that are already in the industry and have gone back to school to get a degree. Therefor when they graduate the have both experience and a degree = more dough $-)

Frankly I find that hard to believe. I don't know much about UVSC's CS
curriculum, nor do I know many people who went to UVSC (though the few
that I do know are excellent people -- I'm looking at you Gundies). What
I do know is that none of the companies I have worked for have ever
hired anyone from UVSC. They've never even recruited there. Maybe that's
a mistake on their part. I don't know. Anyone care to comment? Maybe I
should be encouraging our recruiting efforts toward UVSC.


I don't find it that hard to believe.  Of the people who I graduated
from UVSC with we are all making greater than 80k a year and 30% of us
are making > 100k a year.

It could be the fact that most students who attend the CS program at
UVSC begin working full time while attending school and therefore are
not hired for entry level positions when they graduate?
