Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 days ago2020s was probably the worst time to graduate or even attend a 4-year university. they were starting to lock down, and they were laying people off and hiring freezing everywhere, that dint stop till maybe mid 2022, the effect was pretty devasting, i was still working a chain store and many people from IT to electrical engineer just got freshly laid off. and then the '23 massive tech layoffs began too i dont see this going to reverse for CS majors anythime soon, since CS has been having issues like since early 2010s of getting hired.
on students who were attending universities for the first time, or halfway through thier degree in the 2020s, i looked at reviews of my universities, most of them said they dint learn anything at all, so it puts them at disadvantage already, especially if its all only ONLINE courses. if you been in a regular course where the professors only uses powerpoint , you arnt learning anything a professor did this with BIOchem(for life science students)

There was even a class action suit against UW for their negligence during covid. I guess the case is already settled, so I’m looking forward to my meager restitution check.
And I actually feel lucky that most of my serious classes were complete before Covid lockdown, bc the quality of education during covid was absolutely pathetic.

my school the same, it was a state uni, communter school and everyone said it was terrible(based on the reviews, and personally prior the pandemic too. there was one that stuck with me, a woman said she transferred to another university ucla because she dint find herself getting any opportunities at the school, or furthering her career track and she saw her fellow classmate struggle to get a career after they graduated.
