21k average salary - which is interesting, as I started on 15k in the West Country in 1995, which bear in mind was just at the tail end of the early 90s IT recession, compared to now where we are in something of a boom.
That translates to an annual growth of ~3%, but inflation over that period has been far greater. So in real terms, IT graduates are much cheaper.
I bought my first house shortly after starting for ~50k (3 bed semi). I wonder what you could get for 75k in Wiltshire these days?

Originally posted by tim123I'm asking, because I'm interesed in knowing how much a uni industrial placement student would cost to take on.
When I did this I got about 80% of a new grad salary, but with a placement you have the added cost of 'training' them in the appropriate language (they all seem to learn Java now, which is not what my client wants) knowing that they are going to leave after a year.
OTOH you do know that you are going to get the full year, which you don't with a 'normal' employee.

I'm thinking of normal employers, not City types.
