Trust me, the tech jobs took a similar hit in the late 80s and 90s. That is why I got out of the computer biz and migrated toward electrical.
There are plenty of college graduates, with six figure student loans and still waiting for that big job to come along. Immigration has not done them any favors either. Companies like Microsoft will lay off an American making $60k and replace them with an H1B visa worker who will do it for $20k. It is no coincidence that there are about the same number of tech workers on unemployment around Seattle as there are H1Bs.
Try to catch the Dan Rather Reports show "No Thanks For Everything"(original broadcast 6-14-11)
