[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People don't seem to understand that the kids that graduate from a CS program and typically much more intelligent that the others who didn't, especially considering the competition to get into those programs over the past several years.  Do you think they won't be able to figure out their careers relative to someone who majored in, what, English?[/quote]

DD majored in English and she makes just as much as DD who majored in engineering. They have good jobs, are smart and talented, and are paid the same amount of money. I worry more about DD the engineer that she's going to plateau at some point. DD the English major has a great personality and loads of ability, so I expect she'll have a C-suite job before too long. DD the engineer will be successful, but I don't see her becoming a top executive. I hope I'm wrong and both continue to be very successful. My point is that an English degree is no barrier to success to those who are talented and ambitious. [/quote]

No, what will happen is: they both get married, have kids. DDEnglish will quit to SAH because executive roles are not conducive to hands-on parenting. And then will never return to work. DDEngineer will continue working in a chill $200k WFH role. Who is more successful now?[/quote]
