A little known fact. The number of college freshmen majoring in Computer Science has fallen by 70% since 2000, according to the Computing Research Association. Why? *They are watching companies farm out  and outsource projects oveseas*They are afraid of another dot com bust*They are more concerned with balancing their life better than the boomers and the X-man and X-women before them*They can teach themselves ‘the tricks of the trade’ – how to do web development on their own… something most traditional Comp Sci programs don’t teach

*They no longer think IT or Computer Sci classes are cool…So what do they do?

*They stay away from jobs that might attract 40+ hours in the office… We all know that IT departments in mid and large size companies work their you-know-whats off.
