You are talking apples and potatoes. I gave some ranges based on knowledge of the applicant, you have picked only the smallest amount and then challenged that with what a high achiever can get on a scholarship. Talk about skewing the discussion. We give poor signals to the grads that ask us because we consider ourselves as examples. How many involved in slug would you consider as coming out of Uni as 'average' with a very low pass? Most of the SLUG Unix students would get hired in the 'industry experience' range not 'graduate'. I tried to show that there is not one amount but a range based upon ability.
