Rachel Konrad, technology writer for the Associated Press has written a great article that talks about where technology jobs are heading and why many people are studying alternative courses at Universities. A couple factors are the cause for this. A lot of technology jobs are being shipped overseas and those that do stay here in the U.S. prove to be unreliable or give low job satisfaction.
According to a report by research firm Gartner, they predict that up to 15% percent of tech workers will leave their profession by the year 2010, mostly due to the lack of tech jobs available, there are better paying jobs available or jobs with better satisfaction.
That article says that thousands of companies here in the U.S. have opened branches or hired workers in India, China and Russia, and suggests there is little motivation to hire someone here in the U.S. when compared to offshore workers.
