I've known lots of people who got CS degrees when I went to school who now are no longer employed or doing other things because they assumed nothing would change. For 35 years I have stayed viable by constantly learning (but also avoiding just chasing every new thing).
- sotojuan 10y agoThis affects people 5-10 years into their career and new grads alike. People I graduated it that thought they could coast on their degree alone without internships or projects have been unemployed for a year. The "study CS -> get a job!" myth is no longer true, if it ever was. While the market is great, you still have to work for a good job.
