I agree excluding the HTML, CSS and Javascript bit. Lots of great engineers out there that don't ever deal in this bit of software.
I'm not a fan of unusual sizes and colours. That said, printing on a decent linen paper (on the correct side!) has helped me.
I chose to travel around Europe for a few months after school and then bothered looking for a job, so I guess by this metric I was unemployed. In the end I left Kansas for a job in London, a much better choice for me…
There is an order of magnitude between the population of Austin and NYC. Perhaps comparing Austin with a similar sized city, Columbus for example, would be a better comparison.
In some places, Kansas City for example, cost of living may make up for that 15k.
Almost everyone I work with in London has had a bike stolen (or a least a wheel or two), and everyone I know who owns a bike also has insurance. Not great evidence, but I'm not sure theft is any lower.
London has plenty of events for developers, you just get out and find them.

As a senior in CS and math, I completely agree. Calc II, III, elementary differential equations, and matrix theory classes are about 85% engineers at my university. As such, theory was not the focus. All I had to do to…
