The article discusses the opportunity costs of choosing to become a computer science (CS) teacher in the U.S. in relation to salaries. Topics include the recruitment of people with Ph.D.'s in computer science into industry jobs rather than higher education, the lack of available class in CS when faculty shortages exist, and the report "Assessing and Responding to the Growth of Computer Science Undergraduate Enrollments" by the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
