Starting salaries surge for computer science grads

[G]iven the massive drop-off in the number of comp-sci students and the robust growth of IT in the US, the inevitable has now happened: computer science degrees are now worth some serious cash.

A recent study of post-college careers from the National Association of Colleges and Employers (also noted by the Chronicle) found that computer-science grads saw their average starting salary offers grow by 4.5 percent last year alone. The new average salary for a job right out of college is now $53,051. That’s the highest amount this decade.

Maybe I should ask for a raise.
