[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps folks didn't read the article.  There is a throwaway line:

"To be sure, comp-sci majors from top-tier schools can still get jobs."

The article also goes on to state that many IT departments of non-tech companies are hiring lots of kids.

Unfortunately, the example kid they give of a CS degree from Catholic is the same story as told about every major since they started writing these articles about every major.

A CS degree from Catholic isn't the same as a CS degree from UMD.  Much like a business or english or any other degree from Catholic is not the same as the equivalent from [INSERT TOP SCHOOL HERE].[/quote]
