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.

It's even uglier than that. You get people living in what amounts to penury, making poor economic choices on top of that, with vast amounts of time on their hands - it breeds a criminal underclass, angry and resentful of people who have more despite punitive taxes paying for the money they're getting for free.
But that's OK. It's still better than the alternative.
