Job Prospects in CS
Dot-com bust did not reduce the demand
Outsourcing is mainly in lower level help
desk jobs. More jobs are being created
Job prospects are very bright
2004-2014, 71% of new jobs in science and
engineering will be for computer specialists
59% of new jobs plus net replacements
US universities will graduate half this amount
