They definitely do. Every one that I've interviewed has unrealistic expectations on salary or hourly rate.

These camps are telling their students that they should be getting $75/hr all day long. The reality is that most should be like $20-30/hr. They'd be better served if they were told to go for a fair rate, get a job and experience and were prepped on how to negotiate as their skills increase.

That being said - I really like the personalities of the people coming out of the camps and I've hired a few. They're generally hungry and excited.
