What I mean is abouit the reskilling platitudes is that say the blue collar guy retrained to use computers at fairly low level and got a job in the service sector on 60% on the manufacturing wage. Now that job is most probably going to be out sourced to India.
Thing is that's gone to be replaced by 'what ever suits big business is good for the US' attitude especially prevalent in the current administration.
Still at least it's not as hypocritical as Clinton's reskilling platitudes when blue collar workers lost their jobs in manufacturing.
Hmm, sounds like you went into Computer Science for the wrong reason.
If you truly enjoy programming then the lack of jobs won't bother you as you will still be able to program to you heart's content on the many open source projects that our community needs to compete with M$. Of course you won't get paid but think of the kudos...
People forget that most software development is to support the real business of the corporation which makes the money. So if large corporations can get their coding done cheaper (and probably better), then the people doing the real money- making jobs can have more software to support them.
This creates another virtous circle of productivity gains which will make us all in total richer.
Of course you can't make an omlette without making eggs and I'm sorry for all the IT folk who have to change career as a result.
