Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over?

  Article is literally about unemployed comp sci grads. Why would you get a comp sci degree for admin work? They’re distinctly unrelated and there are programs that teach you exactly the things you mentioned, for people who want to get into that line of work.

    Comp sci is not just dev work, it’s literally the catch all for all things that deal with, well computers/tech.

    Takes 2 seconds to google what comp sci majors fall into. It’s a broad range of fields.

    These days it might as well be a business degree.

      Computer science is mostly theory. Think algorithms and data structures, not Windows-specific software and settings. What you’re talking about is IT, though some universities don’t separate them properly.

        I know what compsci is, but it’s no longer what it was in the past. It’s now the catch all for most IT jobs. Dev included. And a ton of software is developed for windows because windows is the most dominant os in the world. This isn’t some dig at Linux or macos, it’s just the facts.
