[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haha, I was actually going to address that cybersecurity is more in demand, largely because a huge market from government and similar entities.  Recent breaches help bolster the demand.

So if OPs son is specifically in cybersecurity he could be okay.  But sure, keep narrowing the parameters for his unicorn job.

We don't even know what role this kid has at the startups, he could be social media specialist for all we know.[/quote]

You don't get paid 103K salary after graduation for a media specialist job.  That just does not happen.  A 103K salary is more likely a CS major in the DMV.

It is very easy to transition from CS over to Cyber Security.  A person with a CS major can transition over to Cyber security in less than six months of reading up cyber security.  One can say that Cyber security is so much easier than CS.  I transitioned from CS to cyber security in 2006 in less than six months and got some security certifications.  After that, I got a good paying job and I am doing well now.  the DMV market is still good even in the recession due to lot of work in both the government and contractors space.  OP's kid will be fine.  Let him travel and recharge himself, and stop stoking fear in OP.  [/quote]

NP. My DC is graduating with an Accounting degree in May and the standard entry-level salary for big 4 staff 1 (must be CPA-eligible your by start date) around here seems to be about $70-80k. That is what DC is getting and it doesn’t seem too out of the ordinary for that industry.

So color me surprised if a “media specialist” is making $100k fresh out of school.[/quote]
