Programming Jobs Losing Luster in U.S.
Boy, can I agree with this!
From Yahoo! News - Programming Jobs Losing Luster in U.S.
As tens of thousands of engineering jobs migrate to developing countries, many new entrants into the U.S. work force see info tech jobs as monotonous, uncreative and easily farmed out — the equivalent of 1980s manufacturing jobs.
The research firm Gartner Inc. predicts that up to 15 percent of tech workers will drop out of the profession by 2010, not including those who retire or die. Most will leave because they can’t get jobs or can get more money or job satisfaction elsewhere. Within the same period, worldwide demand for technology developers — a job category ranging from programmers people who maintain everything from mainframes to employee laptops — is forecast to shrink by 30 percent.

I’ve always said that we are teh future blue collar jobs of america. Doesn’t surprise me that this many people will drop out though, seeing as how a large number of the people I graduated college with only jumped into the job because of the money. (before the dot com crash)
I did it because i had a passion for it, but I guess the money (at the time) helped.
