I'm always trying to figure out how to stay competitive on the computer job market and am always reading stuff on the net about ways to do that. The usual methods were the following:
1) Job experience
2) Education (college)
3) Certification
However, I've recently discovered that employers are wanting more than just the traditional CS grad who only knows about computers. It seems that now CS is leaning more towards a multi-discipline study. Now you won't just be expected to know all the 20 different programming languages and all the different operating systems, you will also need to know some other sort of job function (such as accounting, medical, business etc.). This makes sense too, since a lot of general programming work is being outsourced to other countries. It would be pretty hard to outsource your job if you are a CPA (cert. public accountant) and also have a wide array of programming/computing skills.
How do you guys feel about this?
