Unless they attend MIT CMU ivies Stanford UCB GT and a few other T15ish with robust computer engineering including AI degrees, CS alone is not going to yield that result in 2030. It has already slowed a lot with 2025 and now 2026 offers. Top schools are doing great; T25-40s and lower have had a significant drop in CS hiring. [/quote]

That really doesn't make any sense.  There are like 4MM jobs in software engineering and other very similar CS jobs.

Berkeley as example only graduates 800 CS majors each year.  A school like MIT only 400.  Let's call it the top 25 schools graduate 600 CS majors on average.  That's 15,000 graduates.  Nearly 50% of CS graduates from these top schools don't even work directly in CS...they go to work in consulting, banking, PE, hedge funds, etc.

There are 30x more kids hired in CS jobs each year than just the 7,500 from top schools who decide to work in CS.[/quote]
Every single major corporations have need for SWE and IT workers. Not everything is yet offshored or taken over by AI.  The AI fears are overblown.
