[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS recently graduated along with four of his cousins, and here are the stats:

- DS:  Computer Engineering degree from UVA; 3.8 GPA; two internships in sophomore and junior;  is currently jobless and looking,

- Cousin #1:  CS degree from Cornell; 3.5 GPA; one internship in junior year;  is currently jobless and looking,

- Cousin #2:  CS degree from Virginia Tech; 3.7 GPA; one internship in junior year;  is currently jobless and looking,

- Cousin #3:  CS degree from Northwestern; 3.3 GPA; one internship in junior year;  is currently jobless and looking; (OOS tuition)

- Cousin #4:  CS degree from University of Michigan; 3.5 GPA; one internship in junior year;  is currently jobless and looking; (OOS tuition),

- Cousin #5:  CS degree from George Mason; 3.9 GPA; one internship in sophomore year;  is currently working for a healthcare provider that pays him 125k/year,

Based on the small sample size above, it really does not matter where you go to school for Engineering or CS.  [/quote]

My DS did Computer Engineering while his cousins did CS.

All of them graduated in May 2024.  The job market is currently very bad for tech, from what they told me.  Many of my DS and cousin's friends are also looking for jobs. DS and his cousins also used university career services nine months prior to graduation without much success.  FWIW, my DS is teaching old people pickleball for $70/hr, while he is looking for jobs.[/quote]
