Garbage in Garbage out

Your assuming salaries are not inflated and that the ratio of people reporting salaries is constant at all income ranges and the reported numbers are accurate. I doubt any of those are true. So, IMO to observe a 65k median suggests the actual median is below 65k.

PS: Don't forget grad students count as recent CS grads and there generally not making anywhere close to 65K.
