      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.

      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.
