Computer science graduates will be in greater demand than ever over the next 15 years, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates says.
Gates addressed University of Michigan students Wednesday in kicking off a three-day college tour aimed at getting young people interested in computer science and related fields.
"You're going to have tons and tons of opportunities," Gates said. "If there's a field to go into, this is it."
Gates said the global market has greatly expanded the need for technology and innovations and needs young people to create them. Although many computer science jobs are being created overseas, there still are plenty of opportunities in the United States, Gates said.
