You are 100% right that my view is clouded by the relative youth of the software industry. Achieving seniority is a much longer road elsewhere.
My main point was that when you've just spent 4 years in college learning and accumulating debt, it's very disappointing to look around and find nobody willing to invest in you. I have friends and family graduating from good 4 year schools ending up doing email customer support for startups and making next to no money. That's employment, but it's not what you want/expect.

I agree with that. My best advice is to look for work where you are doing meaningful work and don't worry so much about salary until a few years in your career.
