<p>Like others have said, if the market becomes over saturated with CS graduates, that only means the mediocre students will have trouble finding jobs. Lots of majors have ups & downs. When the housing industry was blowing up 7 years ago, it was all about civil engineering. When the stock markets were soaring, it was all about financial engineering. Those majors have gone down in popularity lately & CS is now booming because of all the marketing hype put out by Apple, Google, various video game companies, etc.</p>
<p>Don’t worry too much about it. Again, as others have stated, when students realize that CS is <em>much</em> more than programming, they tend to lose interest.</p>
<p>As far as CS majors becoming outdated…again, since CS is much more than just programming in the newest language & for the newest processors, I don’t think it will be an issue. The theories and principles remain the same so it’s not difficult to adapt.</p>
