Since when have universities pivoted from training for academia to training for industry?
While I was in university, the classic undergraduate Computer Science program was described to me by the program's advisors as being for academics. If I recall correctly, "those who get A's become professors, those who get C's go into industry."
- djtango 3y agoSince progression in academia slowed due to limited number of professorships and the salary gap of academics to people in industry sky rocketed.
