We are seeing a rapid change in the career outlook for computer networking professionals. However, the story on the educational front is quite different. In the US, 19,866 students graduated from computer networking degree programs in 2006. And in 2010, 21,762 students graduated from computer networking schools.

This represents a 10% change in 4 years. The growth nationally for students graduating from institutions of higher learning in general has been 12% from 2006 to 2010. Thus, the growth in the number of students graduating from computer networking courses is less than the change in the number of students graduating in all disciplines in the US.
