On 'Domestic' Science

Another one-dimensional article about young people's inappetency on studying computer science and / or starting a career in IT, now seen in the eyes of folks from down under.

Briefly said: if studying IT means doing some kind of 'domestic' science, where a typical career path leads automatically to service providing (infrastructure jobs), so-so paid programmer / developer jobs, or to project management with good chances to get stomach ulcer, it will keep plainly boring. Without social prestige, without relevant subjects beyond profit-oriented IT, without all that rocket science that makes IT and CS sexy, young people will stay away. And they're right about that.
