  1. Comment - Students now avoiding IT degrees, despite good job prospects

    (Jun 23, 2008 - 5:16 PM)

    I would think one of the major reasons is a company would much rather hire someone with 10 years or more real world experience for the 100k and get their monies worth than a masters degree with no experience for the same amount. You can learn more studying on your own and taking on line courses specific to your needs than classical training that still teaches base DOS on 386 computers. In this particular field a classical education is not where it is at. Even the tech schools teach you more. Its a shame that our higher education system does not pay attention to the real world and adjust their course of study to match it. Other countries do.
