[quote=Anonymous]Wow. Reading through - you guys paint a bleak future.

CS Jobs turned into Data Science Jobs; CS is a known field - back in the 1990s you hired a dude with an MS in CS to build a website. Now you need a 9 year old with his hand-me down laptop.

Yes. ML is taking over a lot of jobs but that is an opportunity in the new segment. You will need to build new industries around this productivity.

What did you guys think would happen to: Tower Records, Moto-Photo, and Blockbuster? a few CS majors took a lot of costly work and gave it to us as a low subscription cost. 1 Blockbuster video tape was how much per night? And we complain Netflix is how much?

A few Data Science majors will take a lot of: content creation like animation, movie production, special effects or QA jobs or manual labor like mowing your lawn. There is a shortage here and Elon wants to backfill it before China, Japan, India, Brazil, etc. Whoever dominates here will become the next silicon valley. If H1-B is where he gets the backfill thats what he does. If you don't dominate you'll see kids going overseas for good jobs. We are still living on the fumes from the: Greatest Generation. They gave us the country in the best position possible and we squandered it. Elon sees this and hence the "mediocrity" comments. And I'm not a Elon fanboy.

This is like the 1990s where CS is emerging and people still went to school for Engineering and then got a CS job. Just follow the employment page to see the future.[/quote]
