I find it easy to believe that there are a ton of PHD computer scientists out there.  I have spent the last couple of years on a search committee for an asst. prof in computer science.  We are a small school.  Nearly every applicant is from either the middle east or the far east.  I can count the number of "american" applicants on one hand.  This tells me that american PHD computer scientists are making plenty of money and gainfully employed or they would at least apply for our vacancies. 

Before I get slammed for a misunderstanding, this is not an attack on non-american or minority groups.  We have hired these in nearly every round and have no complaints!
