I wouldn’t be thrilled if he makes 35k/yr after graduation. UVA cost around 35K/yr, including room and board.
Your son is lucky. I have been working 25 years, have a graduate degree, and do not make 115k. Most people do not have degrees a in computer science. There are entry level law jobs paying 65k in DC. Your son is the exception...not the norm.
I hate to break this to you. There are so many folks with Computer Science and Engineering degrees here in the DMV that are working for Amazon, Oracle, and Google. Just about all of them make over 100+K right out of college. They are dimes and dozens in the DMV.
