Re: Bad and Good news for Computer Science
Just to let everyone know, I didn't make my post to be a jerk or to scare the crap out of people. I just wanted to be sure people knew what was going on. Here at TRW, we eliminated our entire IS department about 2 years ago and outsourced the whole thing to India. The only person left from the old IS is the head of IS - he is still around. Other than that, we have two or three people from India on site here and we have a call-in number (to India) to report problems. They do whatever they can remotely and if they can't do that, they send one of the on site people to our desks.

Also as a side note, my brother has a computer science degree. He's still doing pretty well, but I don't know exactly what he's doing these days (I mean, I know where he works, but he's switched job functions a few times so I don't know exactly what his job entails now).
