[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Google elevated the "engineer" to god-like status within the company. All other positions were subordinate to the engineers who created products. Germany has always revered engineers from a cultural perspective. Google brought that same culture to the United States. When I applied to college in the late 90s, engineers had just come off a terrible streak of layoffs in the aviation, defense, telecom, personal computing sectors in California. Tons of my friends' dads got laid off as engineers if they worked on anything that touched defense or tech. [/quote] That’s what I think of when I see parents forcing kids into CS. Everyone should be able to use Excel, write a macro and create a simple website, but the idea that a major you hate will automatically lucrative is false and harmful. [/quote]
