Power Architecture directions: Two-year-old Academic Initiative enhances computer science curricula, seeks to reverse student decline

Power Architecture directions: Two-year-old Academic Initiative enhances computer science curricula, seeks to reverse student decline

"According to a government study, the voluntary attrition in the U.S. has outpaced the number of outsourced jobs to emerging nations. Further, for every job outsourced from the U.S., nine new jobs are actually created in the U.S."

So is this a case of overreaction? Probably not if you are in a sector that is impacted.

I have spent a number of years (on more than one occasion) working as a consultant. To me, the field is still quite rich with opportunity for the bright, well educated and/or experienced. The limiting factor on jobs is usually a constraint the candidate imposes, a limitation that they enforce (travel for one).
