Comment

Students, who don't realise how boring and dirty the non- "Knowledge Economy" can be may think IT is boring. I did a 1st degree in English & History, and spent 2 years doing clerical work.

When I got ESF funding to do an MSc Computer Science, (one of the ones designed to recycle non-IT graduates into IT), every single person on the course had astronomically high morale, and a sense of being saved from really boring work by a career in IT.

Maybe someone needs to back up the Herse, and let these students smell the flowers.
