Fewer Pursuing Tech Degrees - TIME Article

We all know that kids are good at using computers and they're starting younger and younger, actually my 3 year old nephew can navigate through YouTube to watch cartoons without a problem! Anyways, instead of yelling at the "computer slackers" for not keeping up with their homework in Slavic studies because their creating a program for Ubuntu, instead we need to encourage them to finish with a degree!

According to a resent article in TIME Magazine, "Fewer college students are pursuing computer-related degrees at a time when demand is increasing and thousands of baby boomers are retiring from technical jobs."

So go ahead and push those slackers to get those basic high school programming classes and tell them that they'll be getting crazy paying jobs for something that they love! Whats wrong with that picture?
