Except he is exactly right. If the salaries are competitive enough, all the smart people who are currently attracted to sitting around in wall street making millions doing nothing truly productive might think twice and consider CS or SE. It isn't an instantaneous turnaround - new talent doesn't come out of the woodwork overnight - but give it 5 - 6 years and if average salary went up another 30k you'd have a % more college students entering the field due to the market demands for it. That is how it always works with worker shortages.
