What's particularly interesting is that if this practice continues, and future students catch on, the number of students who choose computer science as a major will decrease, more than it is already, since a career in programming has a short lifespan. " What irritates me about the industry is that college age interns are underpaid, over worked, and in general just screwed over. And then the 30 somethings aren't in demand any more. We should all just work at McDonalds instead. Would you like Fries with that?
