I get that expectations have changed, but I have lots of friends graduating with a Computer Science BS, with nothing on their githubs, who do well on their interviews and get entry-level positions making six figures.

Edited: And no one I know does unpaid internships -- most CS majors are making $20-40+/hr over the summer of their second or third years in college.

I graduate this May with a CS degree, that about mirrors my experiences. The vast majority of competent and even semi-competent students have no problems getting good paying internships, and jobs out of college. I appreciate that unpaid internships are a really bad situation in some fields, but fortunately CS is pretty lucrative right now.
