Microsoft is still pimping the idea to college students in North
America that there are jobs in the computers field and a "skills
shortage"..etc.
But It is evident that there is no future for comp. sci as a career in
North America. Those suckered into doing 4 years of university
preparing for a long career in this field will find they are the
victims of a hoax.
On one hand these jobs are easily ex****table, on the other
cor****ations are trying to trick students into entering this field to
keep wages low on whatever few jobs that are available. Third, if the
US dollar declines to a position where IT jobs become economical to
keep in America, Microsoft is already ahead of the curve in wanting
more foreign workers.
Same thing is happening in India with cor****ations including Indian
ones flooding the media with the word 'skills shortage' in hopes of
inflating the work force & depressing wages.
Anyone listening to industry for career advice is a sucker.
