Is Computer Science Still Worth It?
prostoalex writes "Is it a good idea to go into Computer Science? Yes, there are certainly pending labor shortages as Indian companies outsource to the United States, but speakers of Stanford Computer Forum generally agree that it's a good career choice. From the article: 'To ensure job security, students must learn business, communication and interpersonal skills, Vardi recommended. The personal touch will become as important as technological expertise, he said. "There are jobs galore," agreed Suzanne Bigas, assistant director of the Stanford Computer Forum.'"
I can hear the comments now. "I don't see why I need interpersonal skills. My technicals skills should be what counts." and "My interpersonal skills are better than anyone I know, but I still don't get ahead because of politics. They say I'm an arrogant condsending misanthrope, but that's just because they're jealous of my coding skills. I work hard, but never talk to anyone because they're just so dumb. Then they screw me over. I don't get it. They're all such bastards."
Well grow up you whiney bitch. Whenever you get two people together there's "politics." It's called society. Deal with it.
