Recently I read an article on CNET
news about the lack of interest in the Computer Science degree. As I
read this I was filled with mixed emotions because it shows the waning
interest in the IT department, but it also shows allowed me to realize
that only committed dedicated individuals that care about technology
for what is will truly get a CS degree.
After reading the article and reviewing the comments I
am inclined to agree with one of the comments that only the truly
dedicated individuals will get the degrees. I also want to take that a
step further and say that those individuals, in my opinion, will be the
next innovators of our future technological endeavors.
Basically,
the article was saying that in the last 4 years that interest in the IT
field for degrees has dropped 80% due to people either not as
interested in the field or because they are afraid of outsourcing to
India and other developing countries.
Personally, I am glad
that the number of people have dropped because there is going to be a
shortage of people filling Tech related jobs in 4 to 5 years, and since
I will be finishing up college in that time I will be on the front
lines able to snatch one up.
The best news is that the
market right now is saturated with potential people wanting jobs. In 4
years the market is going to be in demand again for employees, and that
is where the new innovators are going to be. There will always be jobs
available to people, but I think that in 4 to 5 years there will be
quite a few.
