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 knew the first dot com bubble was going to burst when I heard people right out of school were demanding desks made out of Lego.
I decided I was still interested in computer science, even though there would be few jobs in the field.
I think my interests have drifted to computer engineering since then though (despite the lack of jobs in the field).
