There were recent CS grads in my coding boot camp 8 years ago.
Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates

just learn to code

Computer Science is not learning to code.
In fact, most high end University Computer Science departments do not at any point teach a coding language. Coding languages are taught, in Canada, at Community Colleges and such.
Computer Science is all about developing, perfecting, and discovering the algorithms that are then transcribed to computer code by the junior IT technicians. Coders are a dime a dozen. It is the Computer Systems Designers, project architects, and project developers that make the big money.
A coder can only make good money if they have mastered a computer language that is not very common, like Kubernetes, [Kubernetes,] (kubernetes.io) And you will not learn that from a 'Kubernetes-for-Dummies book borrowed from the library,

Kubernetes is not a programming language. It’s a program written in a programming language called Go. Working with Kubernetes involves writing in a data serialisation language called YAML but YAML is not a programming language (IIRC) because it’s not Turing complete.

Kubernetes is definitely not a programming language. It is not a program. it is a complete system. It is an approach, a method, a tool, a way to organize, a way to think about tasks,

Kubernetes is just yaml
Daryl@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
Kubernetes produces yaml using AI techniques from extremely complex procedures. The goal of Kubernetes is to generate the yaml that will allow a teenager to port the entire NASA launch operation system onto the device of her choice so her technophobe brother can completely operate the ISS including all resupply launches and docking procedures from her smart phone.

I feel like I need to point out, just in case anyone is reading this and falling for the smug tone, that the entire content of both these messages is embarrassing bullshit. I have no idea what drives any human to teach others their uneducated guess on topics and dress it up to make it look like they are a mr knowledge professional. When I think about it, it’s not even passable as a troll joke, it’s just feeble attempts to seem relevant… which is kinda sad. Hope you find human connection soon. I don’t imagine you want my advice now, but try to be more honest to the world, you will be automatically more honest to yourself then.

Thank you for pointing out that CS <> programming.
CS is mostly math, cryptography, signal processing, image processing, information theory, data analysis/storage/transformation, etc.
