<p>Because of the deep worry of my parents on my not being able to make enough to support myself, I’ve done some research on the salaries of people who majored in CS/IT straight out of college. </p>
<p>An early school I’ve looked at was Wentworth. Their starting salary is $55k according to their 2009 release. </p>
<p>For CMU, MINIMUM salaries (not necessarily starting) varies from $48k to $60k. Mean salaries give a better look as to what people generally earn: $83k. So you can safely assume starting salaries can be anywhere from $50k-$70k.</p>
