I get so tired of this "sky is falling" crap.

I get so tired of this "sky is falling" crap. I've seen the outsourcing, I've seen the H1B fraud, I've seen the shit performance from IBM and virtually every other household name IT consulting firm out there. I've even seen the Google/MSFT/Apple salary collusion scandal. But you know what? In spite of ALL OF THAT five out of the top ten salaries for bachelor's degrees are all IT related. http://www.payscale.com/college-salary-report/majors-that-pa... IT unemployment has been 2% in my region for nearly a decade. That means everyone with any skills who wants a job has a job. I can hardly imagine how you could try to screw over IT workers any harder than is being done by the corporate big wigs and yet IT is still one of the best places to be. And if it gets bad? God help us, we can just unionize. But it's hard to convince people to organize and complain when they're making more money and enjoying more benefits than most people on the planet.
