&gt; The U.S. Bureau of Labor estimates that, by 2020, there will be some 1.4 million open software engineering jobs and only 400,000 computer-science students to fill them.<p>Every single article on this new school includes that blurb. It&#x27;s almost like they started with and tweaked the same press release.<p>I say the blurb is wrong to the point of deceit.<p>1) These are not 1.4 million &quot;software engineering jobs&quot;, but &quot;computing professions&quot;, which includes jobs other than software engineering. (Eg, network engineers.)<p>2) People in these jobs already include a large number of people who don&#x27;t have a CS degree, which means that the jobs do not require a CS degree but can include related degrees. (Eg, electrical engineering.)<p>3) By 2020 there will be about 3.9 million people with a CS <i>or related degree</i> that can fill those 1.4 million jobs.<p>Links: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.epi.org&#x2F;publication&#x2F;pm195-stem-labor-shortages-microsoft-report-distorts&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.epi.org&#x2F;publication&#x2F;pm195-stem-labor-shortages-mi...</a> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mainstreet.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;stem-jobs-take-twice-long-fill-pay-really-better-longterm&#x2F;page&#x2F;2" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mainstreet.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;stem-jobs-take-twice-long...</a> .
