Re: Bad and Good news for Computer Science

Though I wouldn't say I'm going into computer science as a career, I think I'm gonna agree with Mr. Anderson on this one. It seems to me like technology is improving at a very high rate (just take a look at all the stuff in the news page, progress in medicine, etc.). With these improvements comes a need for all sorts of people to work with them. Yes, the job market fluctuates.

For example: Those entering the nursing and medicine fields will have a huge advantage in the next few years (projected by many career articles) due to the current retirement rate. However, as the job climate changes, you may want to stay optimistic about opportunities for CS majors. If you want that job, you just have to distinguish yourself from others. I'm sure you all can do it.

By the way...I'll be the first to hire you, because well...I am awful with that sort of thing. Go find people like myself who have a natural tendency to mess up anything computer-related but are planning to go into a science field, and you'lll be set .
