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.'"

THANK YOU. I was about to post the same comment.

And it certainly is a good thing that one of you was available to post that comment, because nobody else will post that a thousand more times on this thread.

That's a perfect analogy. I used to love eating Computer Science until I studied how it was made and I haven't eaten one since.
