At UMD, all Computer Science majors must complete 12 credit hours of 300-400 level courses in one discipline outside of Computer Science. My kid is obtaining minors in philosophy and math.

Are we going to pretend that AI isn't affecting the humanities either? A lot of posers who couldn't write their way out of a paper bag now have Claude on their side.

Recruiting sessions for what?



1000000000+. DCUM parents with their STEM only mindset need to freaking wake up.


Asian parents…..because they wouldn’t be here otherwise. It is all that they know and understand.


Excuse me? I am an asian parent. I majored in philosophy in addition to a stem. Check your racism.

The hierarchy of hot tech jobs has flipped. You can now make close to a million dollars a year without a technical degree.

Source: TikTok. The overall intelligence of DCUM posters really worries me.


Yet again an outlier and you ascribe to all of DCUM. And targeting the platform is a red herring. What the guy is saying is sound and he’s only quoting legit articles.

Not an outlier of DCUM behavior.


Point still stands. Comment on the substance and not the platform.

Where does it say the hierarchy has flipped, which is the main point of your post ? Are you coping or just lack of cognitive ability.


(head banging on wall). Click on the link.

DP, but a director level job (which requires years of experience) is paying at 750k while new graduates are making 800k as a quant researcher and 1 million plus as an AI researcher. Where is the trend flip?

Exactly. Mine was a history and stat major. Got an entry offer at Goldman Sachs.


Tons of CS majors work for Goldman or McKinsey or hedge funds. Like 50% of CS and engineering majors at top schools go these routes.

It’s odd that people claim the sky is falling if all CS majors don’t work directly in CS…yet less than 5% of English or History majors ever work as Historians or English professors or Book editors or anything directly in their field of study.
