My DS graduated with a degree in Math and Secondary Ed and received a job offer within a week of his very first interview. He wanted to work in a private high school and was offered a much higher salary than he was expecting - he accepted the job.

Yep. Math teachers are in high demand. Too bad we have a hard time convincing young people who are good at math to become teachers.

That would be my DS. Superstar in math, dual CS math major, but they do not want to teach. I don't blame them. Who wants to deal with out of control teens. If the kids were well behaved, wanted to learn, and the parents weren't helicopters, maybe DS would be more likely to want to teach. But, today, teachers have to deal with too much: out of control teens, and parents, and admins.

And I'm not even a teacher but I shudder when I think about teaching.

My kid is a rising senior in CS. Have been getting excellent paid internships in prestigious companies since freshman year. Call back from all. Not URM, not connected, not White, not legacy, no hooks, not female - public flagship.

He also applies to 100's of companies for internships. So, expect him to do the same kind of large scale application going forward for jobs. The jobs are there and the need for great employees is also there. The new generation needs to be flexible also.

Aerospace engineering. When I graduated everyone I knew in my major who didn't go to grad school for a job in aerospace. I went to Purdue though which is a tragedy school.

Harder time than what?

Since your post specifically says a job “in their field”…I guarantee you that every humanities, physics, math, etc. major is having an infinitely harder time because last I saw there aren’t many history, philosophy, physicist jobs available (nor were there ever).

Please share how much money we're talking about as an entry-level. I read that outlook for accountants will get worse with AI. idk anything about this career path and would appreciate your insights
