"Jobseekers should have a degree in computer studies,"

Now that really bugs me. Why would you need such a qualification? Some of the best hackers around exist because they have curiosity, a holistic approach to problems and a talent/passion for using logic and reason to solve them.

I've met plenty of computer science graduates without those skills and whilst I'm sure they could polymorphificate their way out of an object oriented paper bag a position such as this requires the fresh perspective these non computer studies graduates offer.

You can bet the existing broken security was designed by a "Jobseeker who had a degree in computer studies!"

except it isn't.. western governments are trying to "sanitise" the net and bring about their own government sanctioned net utilising their own "great firewalls"... just check out all of the legislation they are trying to put out and the commercial endevours that will employ DPI backed up with threat of disconnection and/or prosecution.

When they came for those who read "information likely of use to terrorists" we shrugged "why would you need to learn about how a bomb works and can be put together" we uttered.

When they came for the paedos many were whipped into a frenzy and said "too right we should find them and persecute them".

When they came for the freetards we all exclaimed "if we just take everything for free, no-one will make any more".

When they come for us for having an opinion and a thought that wasn't sactioned a governmental body, everyone will cheer because they have been told it's their duty to.

Yes, it's an extreme vision.. but it's one that is all too easy to bring into our reality.
