[quote=Anonymous]The way the game is played, computer science is a dead career, unless you plan to get a clearance and work for gov.

CS was a good choice in the 80s and 90s but now would be a mistake.  Vested interests are organized to send these jobs to india and china.

More than 50 percent of the H-1Bs granted in the 2013 financial year went to offshore outsourcing firms like Cognizant, Infosys, Accenture, said Ron Hira, associate professor of public policy at the Rochester Institute of Technology.  Hira has been studying high skill immigration policy for more than a decade and has gathered data using FOI requests that points to H1-B workers being paid less on average than their American counterparts.

The figures show the median wage paid by offshoring firms to [b]H1-B workers between the financial years 2010 and 2012 was between $54,000 and $69,000. In contrast wages for Computer Systems Analysts stood at around $82,000[/b], he said.  According to this data the offshore outsourcing firm Cognizant hired nearly 18,000 new H-1B workers between the financial years 2010 and 2012, a period when Hira said the firm took on very few new American workers.[/quote]
