There will be even less CS grads in the next 10 to 15 years.  At that point, today's grads will be in their 30s, still working age.  There will still be CS jobs that need filling in that timeframe.[/quote]

CS is a job that does not have a competitive moat. Those jobs today have moved to Sofia, Bucharest, Budapest and Prague. In 10-15 years, even more will be moved somewhere new elsewhere.[/quote]

1. CS isn't a job any more than "English" or "Business" is a job.

2. If CS does not have a competitive moat, then neither to other knowledge-work based jobs.

Software continues to eat the world and dominate legacy industries, showing no signs of slowing (8 out of 10 largest companies by market cap are software or hardware based).  In addition, AI will *grow* the industry and talent demand, not shrink it. AI tools won't eliminate may programming jobs; rather it will make the entire industry more efficient and able to tackle a broader range of problems.[/quote]
