[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ivy League schools aren’t really the best for CS. I’m not sure why you’re locked on those. Kids who go to Ivy schools for CS are headed for management work, not the hands-on work your son seems to excel at. [/quote] My ivy kid started coding in college only as an engineering major requirement. Had only few CS courses until he had to declare a specific major during his junior year. He felt with an ivy degree, he was able to pretty much sign up for a job. He's now holding his own alongside non-ivy grads who probably coded from Pre-K. That said, he's realizing coding is not what he wants to do for the rest of his life. If PP is correct that ivy kids are headed for management work, at least he has that option. [/quote]
