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.

I also guarantee you that you'll be able to live somewhere that $40k right out of school will make you feel pretty well off as a single young man.
Its worth quoting wikipedia
The overall median personal income for all individuals over the age of 18 was $24,062
And no small fraction of those poor bastards are trying to raise an entire family, so as a single guy yeah times will be pretty good.

Every individual above 18 usually means mom and dad. So, median family has 48.1k annual income. With 40k raising a family is below median.
