DURHAM -- With a critical shortage of Information Technology workers
projected in the coming years, it's crucial that university computer
science departments do all they can to attract top students to the
field, a local IBM official said Tuesday.


If they do so, will IBM give them stable, well paid careers?

The general tone of the comments is "Well, duh."

Undergraduates are perfectly aware of the growth of outsourcing,
and the effect it is currently has on the availability and
quality of IT jobs in the US.
