Don’t Count Out Computer Science Just Yet

Don’t Count Out Computer Science Just Yet | EdTech: The New Normal | Scoop.it

"Your average computer science major seems to now be the poster child for Gen Z college grads unable to secure the sort of jobs that a decade of “top majors” features promised them. CS has until recently been assumed to be a “safe” major that guaranteed employment, often with a high starting salary in a perks-laden workplace, or equity in a fast-growing startup. A decline in demand for recent graduates has led to headlines suggesting the boom is over, and that AI poses an existential threat to all computer science occupations."

EDTECH@UTRGV's curator insight, April 15, 1:14 PM

"The story of computer science isn’t one of decline amid the rise of artificial intelligence, but one of evolution."
