At my school the first 2 CS courses were always packed... in the initial weeks of courses beginning at least.
I had a professor in one of those courses once say something like this:
Look to your left, look to your right,
because one of you won’t be here by
the end of the year.
Both these courses were considered weed out courses. They were Java based and most majors I had heard required at least one or both of them.
$100k in San Francisco is less than $50k where I live. I rent a single bedroom, no debt in Oklahoma. My good friend lives in San Francisco, single bedroom apartment, doesn't even need a car. I take home after taxes, expenses, etc about 50% to 25% and I make almost half of what he makes. Anecdotal, yes. Maybe not typical, but it does show that cost of living is a major factor on salary.
