What exactly is CS? Many college computer programming courses are about teaching Word, Excel, and Access. That's computer science?
A TV show "Uncover Boss" demonstrates the problem. Company bosses have no idea how the work gets done. A boss must understand what is going on at least three levels below him. When the boss has no idea, then first impressions are more important than what an employee can do. In the case of "Uncover Boss", the employee is rewarded with gifts rather than a boss actually addressing problems he has created.
Many IT bosses have little grasp of how the system works. Beause, in many organizations, its about telling his boss what he wants to hear rather than supporting employees who then better serve customers. In such organizations, losses due what never happened are apparent maybe four or more years later... by not appearing. IOW a boss never learns why he needed the more qualified employee.
So, yes, it is a problem for an educated worker who is 'over qualified'. Especially when a boss only understands Word, Excel, Access, e-mail, and stock quotes. So what really is computer science?
