what about Teachers? They seem to have a low paying salary and take more classes than Computer Science graduates.
MCSE can be faked, some Internet sites sell the answers to the tests. I've known people with MCSE and MCSD degrees that knew less than I did.
Once the US Government offered grant money to US Citizens to take Computer Science and IT classes in college to compete with other countries, but somehow that program got messed up. A friend of mine has a mother who applied for it, but her college never turned in the paperwork for her. Or if they did, the government never replied back.
