Yes, I think they've taken the average starting salary for graduate schemes, rather than the average across all graduates (most of whom won't be on a graduate scheme, and quite a few of whom will be unemployed).

Newspapers and news sites are the worst offenders, BBC news excepted.

Business Insider usually have a "View as One Page" button for the slide show articles

Not only that but it's a stock photo from something like 1986. They could have shown a really cool Apple computer from the latest range...but the geeks would have looked the same anyway.

Not very much, but they can tag along gathering data, taking notes and doing the spreadsheets.

Consultants in general are fairly useless IMO.
