Quite a bit, depending on what computer-related field. Programming is quite outsourced. I've had interviews with a bunch of software companies that outsource their work.

Computer network security is a good field to go into. IT is another. But you don't really need a college degree to get into the IT field. DON'T limit yourself to an engineering job. A computer engineer will do fine in most computer-related fields.
