The reality is that most CS programs even in mid tier state schools weed out the worst to the point that the average grad is definitely making well over 100K per year 2 years out of school.

I saw this with my own school. I have a hard time finding any graduates from my program who aren't gainfully employed right now.

Sure, that's the point: most get weeded out. Whether that is in freshman year of college, or kids struggling with calc 1 in their senior year of high school.

CS degrees aren't like business degrees. It's much harder. Hence, many don't do it, despite the huge financial advantages of doing it.
