Thing is... most IT jobs that are shipped over are customer service help desk jobs. Which are not the middle to higher end IT jobs out there. Those have to stay here because you deal with the actual hardware and managing of networks and the like.

Thats what Im going to school right now for and Im hoping there will be some jobs out there. Sure it went down but thats also because .com's hit the floor.

I can see jobs that require more phone work or actual programming work being shipped over but not the network admin type jobs out there.
I do not agree with you. What can be done here can easily be done there. Obviously they cannot come to your house but aside from that, it can be accomplished.
Since the "higher" jobs are here, what makes you think that you are going to come strait out of school and get one? There are several people out there that have graduated and been in the field for a few years that are out of jobs and searching for a new field.
I wish you good luck in finding a nice IT job when you get out of school.

As far as the economy, yeah 9-11 killed it. I have not seen Bush set aside some time and help it though. It seems that he is hurting it even more with his view on outsourcing.
