[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big school = better exposure to industry and research, which can be enriching. I remember on CS professor I had, on the last day of class, would show us the stuff he was working on. That was super-cool and also motivating.

Small school = possibly closer interaction with faculty. If they get a balanced education, for example they can write or present well, even better.

There's a shortage of CS people and that's not going to change, so job prospects good either way.[/quote]

Is there still a shortage of CS folks?  Tech companies have laid off tons of thousands in the past few months.[/quote]
What you are hearing about is the big ticket tech jobs at Amazon, Twitter, FB....

There are a ton of tech jobs open in other industries, like in finance, or even smaller IT firms.  They just won't pay the big salaries.  There are a few articles about how these laid off tech people are being gobbled up.  The ones that are going to have a harder time finding something else are those who are in non tech roles.

There's a paywall here, but you can get the gist of it from the headline and first paragraph.

WSJ is a rag. However, your thought process is correct.

Plenty of tech jobs will be for many years to come well at least til 2024 then the economy will tank people will lose a ton of jobs in all sectors because we will elect a Republcian and we all know what will happen. Not like Dems haven't been cleaning up that mess every single time. [/quote]
Maybe I'm just old, but when did WSJ become a rag? It was a quite a reputable business/economy oriented newspaper.  Their opinion pieces are right leaning but the news articles are not.[/quote]

The WSJ is the furthest thing from a "rag" - it's a Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper.  The PP is just a LWNJ who insists on bringing their partisan politics into the college forum.  [/quote]
