Abstract
There are many trends in cyberspace that are directly affecting both universities' education systems and the current job markets. This research provides an overview of some of these computer mediated trends. The purpose of this work is to look at the current job market, examine some of the computer related jobs for recent college graduates, look at distance education as an educational opportunity for many different people, and look at future opportunities that computer mediation will continue to provide. Students will have better insight of these trends, while professors will have a strong appreciation of the importance of teaching and understanding telecommunications.
