So depending on the source, one finds a shortage of 100,000 to 300,000 workers in Information Technology today -- this is forecast to grow with 1 million more jobs created by industry by year 2004

So physics and "physical technology" aspects of engineering (e.g. mechanical and aerospace engineering) could compete with this trend and try to attract good students from this field
|
Further Information Technology is playing an increasing role in both experimental and theoretical science
-
Distributed collaborative environment to gather sensor data is as useful as optimal coding of Quantum Chromodynamics simulation
|
|
Note IT job opportunities are in applications -- perhaps more so than in "basic systems"
|
|
Having a Physics Ph.D., I will discuss this field as an example
