[QUOTE="dstefan, post: 2335, member: 8"] This is way too pessimistic a view on the job prospects of international students. Not nearly all of our international students got jobs with a strong programming component last year, and I do not expect that to happen this year either. And they all got jobs, as did the US residents. Going back to what Marc said, doing C++ assignments in the other classes could, for teh time being, substitute a second C++ class. Everyone graduating form the program will have knowledge of C++. Once again, international students will get placed, the one difference being that they need to accept offers quickly, and that leads to a 15-20% starting salary discount. What you do to keep the job, and grow in the job is what matters. It is true that there are jobs - those that have to be filled quickly, for example, that require US residency. But Andy's overall view is a little pessimistic. [/QUOTE]
