[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Computer Science has one of the highest unemployment rates for recent graduates. Everyone thought it was a lock for highly compensated jobs right out of school. Colleges and universities currently have overpopulated CS pipelines that dump new grads into an economy and workforce that don’t want employees without years of real world experience. Couple that with the influence AI is currently exerting on the profession and it makes it very risky to pay hundreds of thousands for a degree that could be incredibly devalued by 2030.[/quote]

Yup, and those posting about CS don't even understand its more than just coding.[/quote]

We understand recent graduates can’t get jobs.[/quote]
It would appear over 93% CAN get jobs. [/quote]

In CS? That’s a huge assumption.[/quote]
It's math. If new CS grads have 7% unemployment, 93% must be employed or in grad school. [/quote]

Wow, talk about not understanding the jobs data ... given that you don't actually know how many are in job-specific CS roles vs social media/gig-economy vs grad school, your 93% number is utterly meaningless ... [/quote]
Wow, explain to us?[/quote]

I just did.  Find out the % of CS majors working specific jobs using their CS degrees to land full-time jobs at a company looking to hire recent graduates with degrees; % of CS majors who are employed but doing things like participating in retail jobs, gig economy jobs, or social media accounts related income; % of CS grads going onto grad school.  Only one of those measures gives you the actual % of CS grads truly employed.[/quote]
