A shortage of information technology graduates from Western universities is leading companies to call on developing countries to meet research demand, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates said on Tuesday.

It's because no one wants to go to school to learn tech when it's being given to people overseas. Gates is reaping what he's sewn in my opinion.

It comes around full-circle.

I'd have to agree. Many people lost their interest in IT/CS because many employers where hiring from overseas or contracting out to overseas companies to save money.

Now we have a shortage, go figure.

Its also the idea that the WEB is getting so Messed up, its getting hard to keep up with TECH.
I would Love to start a REAL tech school, and start at 7-8th grade..
TEACH these kids to make their OWN software and hardware...
