Economics 101: A Graduate is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay them. It depends on the skill set and experience they bring with them. A graduate who is only bringing their degree with them is going to get paid less than a graduate who can bring a couple of years worth of real world experience. I can quite easily see a uni grad with only a degree getting $25,000 a year. For many it would be their first real job, and for most, they are not going to get jobs in pure IT companies, instead they will be in industries as varied as Television Broadcasting through to Mining. -- James Purser Producer/Presenter - Linux Australia Update http://k-sit.com - My Blog http://la-pod.k-sit.com - Linux Australia Update Podcast,Blog and Forums Skype: purserj1977 SIP: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
