That’s expected.  But in the future, if there are too many CS graduates and too few English and history graduates, the supply and demand relationship might change.

Why would it change? Why would English and history majors be in demand unless it's for teaching English or history? [/quote]

Huge demand for them in brand and marketing departments in Fortune 500 companies. I'm serious.

The ability to write well and tell stories is highly coveted.[/quote]

Fortunate 500 companies should really reconsider hiring woke female English majors (a highly redundant formulation, I know) who "tell stories" that actively alienate their customers (see: Bud Lite, Target).[/quote]

Oh by all means, let’s reduce advertising and customer service to an algorithm.  CS all the way?[/quote]

There are people with degrees in marketing and communications. Why is there an assumption that a degree that prepares you for nothing is the best preparation for any career? [/quote]
Now a days marketing involves using social media, created by the CS industry.  Print ads are going by the wayside.[/quote]

code monkeys aren't writing content [/quote]
AI can write content.  [/quote]

Yes!  AI is already replacing marketing and advertising people at many large companies.  And replacing journalists too.  As bad as it is, you ain’t seen nothing yet (just to prove that I’m not a bot—not writing grammatically at all—hahaha!)  In any event, AI is advancing by leaps and bounds.  Pretty soon AI will make today’s ChatGPT (whatever today’s latest version is) look like cash registers of the 1970’s. [/quote]
