Weird. In EU, 99% of graduates didn’t (don’t) have that in mind… A fresh graduate in CS typically earns less than 40-50K (even less depending on the country).

No, USA is not like the EU because everything still costs American prices.

And because the employed software engineers still make way, way more than that, but the number of unemployed who make $0 is increasing (and that set may soon be full of fresh graduates).

It has been for a while I suspect.
