Computer Science Enrollments Rocketed Last Year, Up 22%

[DEAD7]

"A sneak peek at the annual Computing Research Association's (CRA) report on computer science enrollments at colleges shows that strong demand for technically-savvy workers is luring students in a big way. The full 2013 Taulbee Report will be published in May, but the CRA revealed a few tidbits this week in its Computer Research News publication. Among the findings: Among 123 departments responding last year and the year before, there was a 22% increase in enrollment for computer science bachelor's degree programs at U.S. schools. Degrees awarded increased 0.9% and new enrollments rose 13.7%"

Uh o time to get more certs. Competition is about to get thick like Brazillian Jiujitsu tournaments.

That's the key though.

How many people are actually completing the major?

In the last dot com boom, weren't an abundance of people getting Computer Science degrees only for the degrees to be worthless when the bust happen?

Good news for entrepreneurs

All meaningless. Advanced automation will make those jobs obsolete, as well.

Sure, but that's much farther away. That involves huge advancements in A.I.

A lot of people go into degrees like CS, Engineering and so on...

It's making it out that's the hard part.

Once the mathematics, proofs, time complexity, optimization and abstract concepts start coming in you begin to see the struggle and the struggle is very real.

A lot enter, few survive.

Pretty much. They start dropping right at the start too. The pointers, recursion, OOP and data structures give people that work .

Yet there are countless out of work IT people who had their jobs outsourced to the Philippines for pennies on the dollar.

Scust at this propaganda

many good men and women (not really, lol) have fallen short.

Do you know how far out something like that is? Have you ever even written a single line of production software development code to back up your claims? We will be old as shyt (or dead) by the time technology can even get in the beginning stages of something like that.
