Microsoft exec points way for youths
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
One top Microsoft executive expressed disappointment Monday that so many of the nation's children dream of careers as professional athletes and entertainers -- rather than more meaningful and achievable positions in computer science and engineering.
"Kids have, genetically, a better chance of growing up and being Bill Gates than growing up and being Tiger Woods," said Craig Mundie, Microsoft chief research and strategy officer, during a panel discussion on the company's Redmond campus.
