Student developers were polled via 80 spring 2016 hackathons to asses how they feel about their career options. Some of the key finding were:
- 83% of students said they were looking for fulfilling careers, rather than simply for jobs.
- Students plan to stay an average of 2.9 years at their first full-time job.
- Students predict that they'll stay at later jobs for 5 years on average.
- Students expect to earn between $70–150K right out of school.
Details of the Devpost study can be found here.

I agree. Looks like the 1%ers are doing their best to import cheap software labor and kick the American workers to the curb.
Another advantage of knowing a skilled trade is you can easily relocate. Everybody needs plumbers and electricians. Try moving to some little town and getting a job as a software architect.
