<p>Is CIS one of those majors that will be all overseas in the future? I like the major, but afraid the number of jobs held with a degree in that field will be small. What do you think about the major?</p>
<p>I wish I would have majored in something else. I had countless classes in programming, which is essentially all over seas now. (save for high end jobs that will be eliminated as soon as the people retire)
They taught me no hardware classes, i.e. here is a computer, take it apart, troubleshoot it, and put it back together to make it work. Those are the jobs that will never be outsourced, but they do not teach that in the CIS major, its all still usually theory and hours of pointless programming. I took a break from trying to find a job related to this major because of rejection notices.</p>
<p>Yeah, sadly, that's true. And whatever jobs that you can find in the US right now won't be here for much longer. :(</p>
<p>I'd just like to set out this time to let Joev know I am not stalking him even though I seemingly follow him to a lot of the threads he posts in</p>
<p>I thought you thought that of me ;)</p>
<p>Outsourcing is less than 1% of the entire ecnomy.</p>
<p>may i recommend MIS</p>
<p>managment info systems, the same thing just you make like 100k a year.</p>
<p>Look it up or just do Comp engineering.</p>
<p>Joev majored in MIS and can't find a job. Why I know this is not of importance lol :p</p>
<p>Unearth you said 1% of the "entire" economy. I would imagine it to be a lot higher in the computer field.</p>
<p>Outsorucing is not a problem, its less than 1% of the entire economy and the majoirity of econimists agree, that it is not a real problem.</p>
<p>Listen NRP

lthough he said he had no "conclusive data" to prove his argument, Ferguson cited a study by the Forrester research firm projecting that fewer than 300,000 jobs a year will be displaced through services outsourcing over the next decade -- "less than two percent of the 15 million in total gross job losses" expected during that period.

<p>Outsorcing is barly a problem</p>
<p>The problem is, as said by 3 of my professors.</p>
<p>Their are always enogh jobs for all of us. We spend out youth and adolescence. traing for what we think we would like. we all have our interest and persue them.</p>
<p>But we cant always do what we want. sometimes the world changes</p>
<p>Their are more than enogh jobs for everybody, in the United states. Just people want to do what they like and are interested in. They dont wnat to be retrained for somthing else. the main problem in America is that we are being trained for jobs that will be extint in a few years.</p>
<p>do this quick search on google
<a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=jobs+that+dont+exist+anymore&btnG=Google+Search%5B/url%5D">http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=jobs+that+dont+exist+anymore&btnG=Google+Search</a></p>
<p>From my Notes</p>
<p>Types of Unemployment
Discouraged workers- They have been looking for work for so long that they just quit and stop looking.
Frictional Unemployed- People who have never worked before and are now going to get a first job.
Cyclical Unemployed- Companies need to cut workers because of decline in demand. The government cuts taxes and people bring home more money, which will make people spend more money on good and services.
Structural Unemployment- The skill level is constantly rising and if you cannot adapt you will be unemployed. </p>
<p>We are dealing with a problem in Structural Unemployment.</p>
<p>People want to do jobs that, dont need to be done anymore.</p>
<p>If you would scout out the economy, and find a sector that needs improvement. You will get a job.</p>
<p>bumpity bump!</p>
