I smell ******** as well. Me and my friends from UOL have been finding jobs recently, and we always put our expected salary at 3-3.2k. The employer's response is always similar, 'why do you think you are of equal value of someone that spent 4 years taking a degree while you only took 3'. In the end, we all took a lower salary. FYI, we are not from biz/acct.

Its not about UOL vs local uni. Its about 3-year vs 4 years. Would you expect an employer to take in a person with a 1-year degree and pay them and expect them to know as much as a person who has a 4-year degree? No. Employers are not that stupid.
