Nothing at all. If an entry level worker can find employment at those salaries, more power to him. Of course they are somewhat higher than average unless you happen to live in Manhatten or the job includes running convoys through Baghdad.
Chicago W suburbs, intelligent young women in their mid 20s, with a little experience unrelated to the high paying positions they obtained, but with the ability (after some mentoring) to market themselves. A big problem is that geek/nerd/pocket-protector types don’t know how to market themselves.
You’d think hiring managers in IT are logical. Big mistake. they are governed by emotional first impressions.
Check people here in FR, or any web site, who whine about them not getting a good job. Go to their homephage/profile and get a first impression. Would you hire that person for a high paying job? They put themselves down. They are pessimistic paradoids. They have spelling and grammar errors. They do a lousy job of organizing data logically.
