Did you understand what he posted? Average starting salaries for the class of 2006.
Are you claiming that say 100,000 engineers graduated but only 1,000 got jobs? So the salary numbers posted don't count? Because such a huge oversupply of graduates versus jobs wouldn't push the salaries for grads lower?
Is that really what you think?
the average salary number only has meaning in the context of the number of jobs available. that's why I used the NBA analogy - NBA average salaries are very high. who cares?
