"Anybody majoring in computer science needs to have their head examined."
I'll graduate in 2 years with a Bachelors of Science in Information Engineering Technology. I agree that software development isn't the place to be however there are some things with technology you just can't outsource. Hardware maintenance, Information Technology Security and sensitive Government IT departments are several examples.
I am currently employed and have 8 years of Windows server administration but I'm looking for another job because I loath the company I work for. I've gotten several calls and although it is not like the 90's there are IT jobs out there.
I would prefer however to run a gift shop in Gatlinburg, Tennessee but that is another story.

I actually know of people working on sensetive government projects that are sending their work over seas, and their managers dont even know this.
They sit around in their cubes and play computer games all day, and all of their work gets done overnight in New Delhi India.
Of course the Indians turn around and send their work to Vietnam, which is even cheaper, and they sit around and play computer games all day.
The vietnamese actually do the work, because there is basically nothing else to do.
The whole thing is getting completly absurd.
There is nothing that a guy in Vietnam cant do with a computer that you can do, other than putting in a new card, or flipping a switch. But you can train a monkey to do that.
You should change your major.
Cant you see the signs of the times?
