You "program" your robot with cards from your hand placed in a certain order. A turn proceeds and the cards are executed. If all goes well, you hit waypoints, and blast a few other robots to dust on the way.
The scariest part is the "security industry" is filling up with green newbies fresh out of college. They have all the right credentials and certifications. Only silver lining is if they don't screw up too badly, they may last long enough to get some real experience.
Currently there is probably more earning power and demand in traditional fields for women such as nursing than Computer Science. As our population ages, more and more nurses will be needed. Why so much effort to attract women to a career path that many feel is in decline?
I changed majors from Radiological Technologies to Computer Science. I enjoyed the science and theory behind Rad Tech, but not the actual practice of it. I really enjoy being a System Administrator. There are still times when I wonder if I made the right decision in regards to quality of life issues, and pay.
Women also tend to seek more flexible employment so they can balance career and family. The traditional jobs for CS graduates such as programming and systems administrations are not very forgiving in regards to life issues.
I have a BS in Computer Science and about 10 years of experience. With Google's awesome training program, I am sure I will able to complete all my duties as Data Center Janitor quite successfully.

Ha ha ha... is it first to invent or first "patent" post for the /. contest?
Nano technology is the only way they will keep high school students "tagged".
Soon to opt out of technology will mean a real sacrifice, say your right arm from the elbow up.
Just a guess, since I didn't RTFA, but maybe the RFID scanner would be part of the WiFi hotspot.
Scanner detects tag, reports to server thru WiFi.
