/prog/ I have a very important question about my career path. I'm currenty thinking of doing CompSci at universtity (UK) but I heard that it would be a wasted degree as all the programming jobs are being sent to places like india and china where they do it cheaper???

Is this true?

PRO TIP:
CS graduates don't get jobs because they're social inbreds who can't last 5 minutes in an interview.

Your best bet is to:
A) Get any degree that /requires/ programming classes and decent mathematics courses

B) Understand that computer science is a bullshit degree

C) Take some public speaking classes / writing courses. Anything that seems like it'll help you build a resume (CV), create an impressive cover letter, and prepare you for interviews.

D) Land a killer internship, because you'll be set apart from the other social inbreds (which look like social inbreds; not to be confused with you, a social inbred that looks like a decent employee.)

E) Know that you'll start small anywhere, because yes, the industry is being outsourced. But you can work your way up.

IF ALL ELSE FAILS: CREATE A STARTUP USING RUBY OR PYTHON OR PHP. THEN WHEN YOUR PRODUCT DOESN'T SCALE, CREATE SOME INANE SOLUTION TO SCALE. REMEMBER, HARDWARE CAN COMPENSATE FOR 85-90% OF POOR DESIGN DECISIONS.
