Computer Science Major

Great article about the Computer Science major in the New York Times :

Andries van Dam, a professor of computer science at Brown who has been teaching introductory computer science there since 1965, agreed. "When kids say, 'Is there going to be a job for me when I graduate?' I essentially have to laugh," he said. "That's like saying, 'When Maxwell discovered the rules of electromagnetism, was physics over?' "

I didn't really consider the job market in choosing to be a CS major. I figure that in any field there is always demand for people who are damn good, and if I'm not going to be damn good at what I do, then why even bother?
