[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People sending their kids off to major in CS with massive price tags should really be smarter about doing the research.  Every major tech CEO is out there telling you NOT to do that.  Every.single.one.  In every chat they have with podcasters or conference fireside chats or general briefings, they are saying the world is changing for entry-level talent in CS, and to skip it altogether.  If you don't want to pay attention, then it's on you.  Internships do not equate to job offers.  Job offers do not equate to actually starting when they say they'll start.  Jensen was recently at the CSIS forum (yesterday!) and again conveyed the exact same message.  Karp, Musk, Zuckerberg, Pichai, Altman, Cook ... all of them are saying the exact same thing!!  Focus away from surfing college admissions stats and insights on how to get into the T20, and instead follow some of these people on major platforms where they are giving you the playbook for what they'll be looking for in hiring talent.  They are not shying away from giving you that insight.  [/quote]

Applied math. Honestly a grounding in applied math is a life long investment.  I would much much rather my kid focused on the fundamentals in college rather than a CS degree. [/quote]
