[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just returned from a college reunion, and my friends' kids who majored in CS and graduated last year and this year are all un- or under-employed.  It seems pretty obvious to me that low-level CS jobs are the first to be gobbled up by AI.  If you go to a top school, it truly does not matter what you major in.  Most of those kids who want top jobs in tech, finance, consulting will get them.  Majoring in something skill-based is more important if you attend even a slightly lower-ranked school.  This is why people work so hard to secure spots in the Ivy-plus schools.[/quote]
Most low level IT jobs have been offshored for a while.   But, yea, most grads from T20 CS schools will be ok.  Maybe not the $150K starting salary with $80K bonus, ok, but they will get something decent that pays more than most humanities majors.[/quote]

CS majors are not applying for low level IT jobs. CS is not IT.[/quote]

So, what are CS majors doing?  What kind of jobs are CS majors getting?

I’d love to know.

My CS major is doing Cybersecurity for Lockheed Martin.
