[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not be too worried about this. As a CIO with a CS major child the future for these kids is still bright. Tech is general is slowing down a bit but its hard to think of a more practical major. They are not taught programming really, they are taught math and problem solving and critical thinking. My kid can apply math and physics in a way that astounds me. I'm convinced its a better path than my business degree was - they are doing really hard stuff in top programs  - they can apply that logic and reasoning to solving problems in a variety of contexts beyond CS if needed.[/quote]

This. The top programs in particular will have no trouble with their grads continuing to get excellent degrees. Specific skills change over time; wht does not is the need for top thinkers who can solve the complex problems and adapt/learn the new skills as technology changes. This is why any-old CS program(or Engineering one) will NOT do. Seek the ones that teach critical thinking , the most difficult math/science/computer skills and problem solving along with leadership skills . [/quote]
