"under 25 years of age" doesn't mean "no work history". It means "under 25". Also, that $40k is for your 50th percentile employed candidate, so half of the graduates who found work are getting less than $40k. Do the statistics indicate what the unemployment rate is for new IT grads? - Matt -- A polar bear is a rectangular bear after a coordinate transform. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
