If the jobs aren't coming back, what's going to happen to Computer 
Science students when they graduate?  Are schools training people to 
join the under/unemployed?  I understand that it's good business for the 
schools because they're making money, but would it be better for the 
/country/ to either make jobs available to Americans or to reduce IT 
training?

Have we moved from the Information Age into the Executive Age, in which 
there are only peons, executives, and foreign IT professionals?  I know 
that is over simplified considering that we need lawyers.
