Medicine is also dying, for people who go into it without knowing what they want to do, other than make money. Same is true for all fields.

Go to study CS because you love computers and want to know what goes on inside the machine and how to make them do things. Make AI do things with that knowledge. Build AD with that knowledge.

Mediocre students who case CS for money will be unemployed.

Stop posting. Clearly you know nothing.

My spouse and I are in tech, and 30 years ago, CS jobs in SV were hot. Companies couldn't hire people fast enough. These were the days of huge signing bonuses, etc.. I got a 100% increase in my company because they didn't want me to leave. I left a year later anyways, and my income jumped 440% in 2 years.

You must be very bad at what you do.

Yea, I'm terrible. That's why I got a 440% increase in SV wages. I'm going to retire in my 50s, thanks to the SV money.

But have you retired yet? "going to retire" is not same. I'm semi retired in my 50's without SV money, but I've been in computing since 1990s. I don't care where you worked or what you did, I know computing and I did for the love of it. I was using Lynx (text based browser) before Netscape came out with Navigator in '94. I was using WWW soon after Tim Berners Lees & co. invented HTML. I was on BSD Unix and all different variations since early 90's. Worked on green screens and COBOL to Cloud Computing and AI. I was told number of times by ignorant people about CS is dying and opportunities are elsewhere. I didn't care then, I don't care now. Because I started working with computers for free, just for the opportunity to work on them at first, then it became a well paid career.

So who’s writing code to run AI?

Econ is lower but surprisingly physics majors are nearly 11% and humanities as a whole is 10.8%.

Nothing surprising about physics. It gives you no skills as a major. It’s amazing in terms of developing a problem solving framework, but you really need a double major to get a career in industry afterwards.

The number of old performing websites like Insurance and retail stores etc need CS to keep them going however all companies will run lean

Project 2025 morons didn’t read it

It isn't dying. OP is just ignorant.

The 6% unemployment is due to various reasons:

1. companies over hired during the pandemic. This is a course correction
2. too many people went into CS who aren't good at it. They can't pass a technical test.
3. AI
4. the economy has taken a hit, and companies are hesitant to hire more people because the "leader" of this country is chaotic. The market doesn't like chaos.

I lived through the dotcom bomb, and it was rough. The unemployment in SV was around 7%. But things came roaring back after a year or so.

Funny story.

In 2002 my uncle said his wife's nephew quit CS field and went into something else because he is smart and know coding is dying. I disagreed with my uncle and said for good people there will be good jobs. That guy later married a Chinese women and moved with her to Singapore or somewhere. I don't think he did that well, my uncle hasn't bragged about him much for many years.


In 2010 my sister said her friend said CS is dying and her son better be electrical engineer, which he did. I told her do CS because there will be jobs for good people. He did find job as EE but struggled. Later he went to study data science and made a move into CS through that field, now he works for a Tech company in his mid 30s after struggling many years, but at least he found a way back.

English majors better than CS? lol. yeah.
