New Grads Shun IT Jobs As "Boring"

Posted by timothy on from the work-from-home-chicks-dig-it dept.

whencanistop writes "Despite good job prospects, graduates think that a job in IT would be boring. Is this because of the fact that Bill Gates has made the whole industry look nerdy? Surely with so many (especially young) people being 'web first' with not just their buying habits, but now in terms of what they do in their spare time, we'd expect more of them to want to get a career in it?"

  1. Revision control by DeadDecoy · · Score: 0, Troll

    Those so called slackers weren't copying, they were actually developing a form of distributed revision control! Think about it. The more people you let copy your work, the more likely you can get back an exact duplicate or even an older revision, in the case that your copy becomes corrupt. :)
    Ah, sorry, I'm a little off topic.
