Anonymous wrote:For all these kids who are applying for CS and are currently in CS programs, what's the plan??? It's a really stark reality for entry level CS work. What's the hope that these kids will actually land any entry level job using their degree. Heck, even jobs in finance, consulting, marketing, most white collar entry level jobs are going to cut by staggering numbers. What's the incentive to spend $100k a year for a degree that can't guarantee you a job??? Help me understand this. What are parents doing or advising for their kids entering or in college?
My kid did a double major in CS and Econ. Did it for peanuts by going to state flagship with full tuition paid. Got 3 paid internships in college. Got a good job in a big tech company for a good enough starting salary. He better save as much as he can while he still has a job. He is a frugal guy and understands the ground reality.
