[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man, this is depressing. I'm so glad my DC graduated a year early. 2024 was bad but not as bad as 2025 from what I hear and see. I have another one starting college this year and interested in CS. I have been trying to steer DC from CS to another engineering field but it's hard for an 18yo to know what they want to do.[/quote]

CS can be good, but they need to pick more difficult upper level electives as a Jr or Sr. The classic example of more difficult is Compilers. Those kinds of graduates are a perpetual shortage.

CS grads whose upper level electives prepared them mainly for web programming and scripting languages are in surplus.

Getting the DC to pivot slightly to a BS Computer Engineering degree would be a good option. That likely requires more advanced math and more Physics than CS would, but has more career options - adding potential hardware work in addition to software. Important to learn logic programming - VHDL/Verilog - if on the ComputerE track. My perpetual challenge is finding people to hire who can write software for real-time/embedded systems and who understand both hardware and lower level software. The C programming language and ARM Assembly language are highly desired. Other languages like C++ are not as useful in my open positions. [/quote]
