I'm sorry if you found my post to be tremendously weird, and congratulations for making so much more than the average undergraduate upon graduation. Was my math wrong?

I actually employ a large number of undergraduates (in non-developer roles) and it is really typical to pay them somewhere around $50k for the first 2 or 3 years (depending on geography + what year it is), the good ones are kept on and get substantial raises to low 6 figures. This is pretty typical across many companies. Her experience is pretty typical for recent graduates, not a special burden to bear.

That is non-developer roles. The lady is question was a developer. We get payed more, because we produce value. No most other positions don't.

But I guess given your username I wouldn't want you as a boss either.

Exactly. It doesn't matter what the average college grad makes, what matters is what eke average developer college grad makes. And "this woman" was getting screwed, so the attempts to disregard that are real hollow.

Note: "exactly" to the first part, not the weird and problematic second part. I glossed over it the first time, and only caught it on a second look.
