There are a bunch more, but there are still relatively few, and the 
pickings look like grasping, so I would try to avoid this path of argument.

I don't know about outside the US, but some things I would tell current 
US college students, IMHO:

(1) If you want to be comfortably employable, major or double-major in 
bio/chem/premed/etc.  Be smart at CS too, and you're golden.

(2) If you want to be smarter at CS, spend more time learning something 
like Scheme or Haskell.

(3) An alternative employable career path starts by learning Chinese 
culture, Mandarin, and diplomacy. :)
