CNN has a nice article on how CSE majors are getting the highest starting salaries of all majors. But, I do have to say that the "Computer geeks king in job hunt" caption is totally uncalled-for and downright mean. Its time we stopped labeling the millions of people who produce all the software that runs this country as 'geeks'. CNN, next time just go with "Computer majors king in the job hunt".
