10years ago I was told that if everyone from my graduating class across the USA went into computer science there still would be too many developer jobs to fill. I wish I could go back. With so many layoffs im competing with hundreds thousands for jobs, fml

Everyone needs to start creating Unionozed-cooperative businesses. Sharing the load that there can be more jobs. Not enough businesses being made

Got told the same thing about systems administration 20 years ago. I struggled in my initial years. It's just an upsell to get more people paying for school.

10 years ago jobs for cs majors were pretty poor prospects already(as with all stem majors(, I think the Prof was out of touch. I was in a state school in West Coast,where a large percentage of students were cs, majors and the most common complaint is the jobs. This is from multiple forums, + in person experience. I had several people I know who had cs majors, job prospects are lacking,so they went to another state. Seems like they shouldve just got programming certifications instead, I'm not a techie. If their idea is to getting into development and research, like stem, it's extremely difficult to get into.

Computer science lmao. I started construction in 08 crash, now going to attempt to start white collar work now. Preferably software work but I'd take IT too to get started

IT is probably a reasonable job to get into theres usually demand for that.
