The Labor Market for Recent College Graduates
Yeah but what's their average salary? Still an amazing career if you are good at it. (Assuming AI doesn't get 10x better and take all of our jobs.)
It's actually in the table - median wage mid career:
Wages are sticky in the short term. We'd want to see what downward pressure exists on offers to new grads.
Best of luck to those stuck right now
How are you supposed to get good at it if you can't get hired? Work for free for a while?
I dunno, I learnt as a hobby. I think most programmers I know did too.
Mid career is more about people who graduated 20 years ago.
It has early career too - the difference there is even bigger.
