“Heck, a few years ago a computer science person with a bachelors degree could write their own ticket. With programming going offshore, that’s no longer the case. I even remember a time when engineers couldn’t find work! (I’m showing my age here.)”

Good CS majors are still in demand. And some of those programming jobs are coming back thanks to the weaker US dollar and the related problems of offshoring. The tech bubble burst of 2000 resulted in a big dropoff in high-school graduates applying to CS programs resulting in shortages a few years later.
