I was through the rough market in 2002, when it was rumored that all software would be written in India by 2012. If I recall, enrollment in CS, engineering math and the sciences dropped dramatically. The thing is, I don't think enrollment has gone back up, in spite of it now seeming "cool" to be involved in a software startup again. I've seen articles on HN and elsewhere on how hard it is to get people involved in CS or other math and science related majors recently. I guess that's a good thing for me, the middle-aged programmer, as it means less competition for my job, but I'm not sure it's good for any country (I'm in the US) in the long term.
