Groundbreaking!? Wow! I’ve always thought that U.S. are falling behind because people there must take the student loan, while in udeveloped countries the tuition is paid by taxpayers.
Well, OK then, let’s see that groundbreaking research. Click here

and you’ll be greeted with a Flash presentation. Let’s take a look at it.
#1: Maybe there’s a bigger problem than we thought
Nope, I wouldn’t say so. You scumbags always say the talent/skill/programmer/etc shortage is a big problem. It’s not, and it never has been.
#2,3,4:1.5 million new computer jobs!? Authors of that “Groundbreaking Report” are either either habitual liars, or totally disconnected from reality. Or both. That 1.5 million new computer jobs have been predicted over and over again ever since the end 1990s, never to materialize. The existing computer jobs have been vanishing instead.
#5: You don’t say. That must have been a hell of a study.
#6: These numbers suggest, that there’s a surplus of about 30% female IT graduates (and probably 60% male, but they don’t matter).
IT Pros are supposed to leave after 15 or 20 years or so. It’s a young man’s game, nobody needs grumpy burned out old wheezers.
#7: The whole 49% of women manage to stay in IT after changing their jobs? Not bad! Not bad at all.
#8: Dangerous trends? Oh, my!
#9: OK, then, let’s see that report… uh oh! No way I’m gonna give you my email address. Not even a throwaway one.
