Unfortunate, but why should people get into a career path where corporate
america is continuing to send their jobs overseas.
We need a president that says no more H1B visa's or the like, no more
sending american jobs offshore, and all jobs sent overseas during the last
24 years will immediately be brought back home, and corporate america will
start paying its employees a decent wage. .
Don't even bother telling me about poor little corporate america not being
able to compete in a global market when they pay their ceos reidiculous
amounts of money. Something's wrong in Denmark when the ceo of a company
makes more money than the president of the United States. .
"Bank of America Corp. paid its chief executive, Kenneth D. Lewis, $20
million last year as the bank struck a high-profile deal to acquire New
England's biggest bank. The pay package, slightly less than Lewis's
compensation in 2002, comes as Bank of America eliminates 12,500 jobs
nationally as it merges with FleetBoston Financial Corp.. In 2003, the bank
said, Lewis received a $1.5 million salary, a $5.4 million bonus, options
worth $2.2 million, $10.8 million of restricted stock, and $149,000 of other
compensation. The sum includes perks like picking up the $21,000 tab for
security at Lewis's house. Though Lewis's $20 million pay sounds high, it is
actually in line with the pay of other top executives, said Tony Plath, a
professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Citigroup's
chief executive, Sanford Weill, made $44.6 million last year, while the
chief executives of Wells Fargo & Co. and Wachovia Corp. made around $16
million and $17 million, respectively.
Poor little corporate America, can't compete in a global market, they can
only give their ceo $20 million.

Fewer students seek computer degrees

The number of undergraduates signing up for computer degrees is falling
fast, making IBM Corp. and other tech companies worry that there soon
won't
be enough skilled U.S. workers to meet demand.
