[quote=Anonymous]A college major is a long term thing- it gives you a way to think. I majored in CS and graduated in 1999. That year, the jobs were insane. Two years later, the dot com bust hit hard. I went back to grad school. 25 years later, I could not be happier with my choice. Not because I am making millions, but I loved the way of thinking and it has prepared me for a lifetime of a career in just the way I hoped. I face AI and job craziness with intellectual arms. My job uses CS only peripherally. That said I graduated from a top program that understood that CS was about thinking and not a trade school to churn out programmers skilled in the language du jour. Seek that program out whatever your major. But stop seeing a $300k investment like it is a bigger version of an IIT infomercial from the 1990s... Life is 100 years these days, guys.[/quote]
