Very good point. The companies in this town and others who don't hire
entry-level people are going to feel the pain in a few years time.

They are on mine, but I don't think it's something to be ashamed of.
I just came up a different path. Started as an Engineering student,
because my school councelors didn't think to recommend Computer Science
to me. I think I would have been much better suited to that discipline.
Can you make it through Comp. Sci. without Calculus? That was my
downfall. I did horribly on Calc. tests although I understood the class
material.
