Are CS degrees in America hard? Here most people who do these either aim to work in scientific research or some quantum uranium black hole for Meta, like the math courses are above engineering by far. I say this because I read some people getting a CS degree and either not having a job or just overall not knowing what to do next and im like wtf
I'm honestly not in a position to say (I don't have one), but it seems like getting the degree isn't hard. But because of that, so many people have them, making it hard to get jobs when companies already have 100+ devs.
>>100137760Yeah I never really understood this. Even at a mediocre university, if you're spending X years studying the subject surely you learn enough about programming, algorithms, maths, etc to be easily employable.I can only assume there are some very forgiving marking schemes out there and/or way more cheating than I thought.
>>100137760Job market is just fucked for entry level positions. A lot of CS grads can do junior roles easily and learn fast on the job, but companies want mid level experience for that.
>>100137760CS doesn't teach you software engineering practices, they don't teach you indistry tech, it's all theory.
