I think it's capitalism, and I think capitalism is cool. Unfortunately, an essential element of capitalism is "creative destruction." Buggy whip manufacturers did not appreciate the coming of the automobile.

My older son is starting college in the fall. He wants to major in CS. I am printing out your post and will show it to him, give him something to think about.

There are still jobs that cannot be outsourced to another country, like mine, thank goodness.

Thats what good dads do. I have already told my sons not to study CS. It is a commodity now. Getting a degree in CS now would be like getting a degree in steel production. It just aint happening anymore.

A major he might want to consider (if its offered, it is at Pitt) is Engineering Physics. Here, you learn most of the physics, EE, and MSE curriculums, preparing for most technical jobs as well as grad school in any of the three.
