Thanks to the savvy Gina "Handy" Trapani over at LifeHacker, we are provided with a link to CNN's article from yesterday titled Computer degrees losing appeal. Now I don't know if I should dance or cry about this news. It's true that there was a major rush in the I.T. majors a handful of years back -when I was in college- students like myself thought they were going to own helicopters due to there techie tendencies -at last hope for the geeks-. Then after the declining slope in the I.T job market, programmers and such were not in very high demand -unless you had years of experience- so newbies like myself were having a very difficult time finding jobs that would justify their years of education ("I went to grad school and all I got was this lousy job"). Now with this news from CNN there is a possibility that the I.T field will be less saturated with hungry professionals fighting for jobs.

The number of undergraduates signing up for computer degrees continues to decline, fueling concerns among tech companies that there won't be enough skilled workers to meet demand...

I have mixed feelings about this. On one side, knowing that the "peopleware" will be more sparse, the professionals in the field will be worth more. On the other side, there will be fewer I.T gurus and the ones working will have less and less support/backups, which can make working in some shops overwhelming. What do you think?
