CS is way easier compared to other STEM degrees

[Jason Voorhees]

I see niggas throwing this saying CS is the hardest thing in the world bro. Im not saying CS is easy or something but it's far from the most difficult. Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering these are the ones that mindfuck you.

CS is more about logic, discrete math, and algorithms rather than heavy calculus or physics. There is also Tons of tutorials, GitHub repos, Stack Overflow answers and YouTube content you can literally become a fully competent software dev without even a degree. If you are good at math rest assured you will be doing well in CS. Read about Control systems in electrical. It makes you want to bang your head into a wall. Just solving basic problems in control system will raise your blood pressure a compelete nightmare. Electrical Engineers also deal with vector calculus, field theory, and wave equations not intuitive at all.

Programming is extremely easy if u have a somewhat good understanding of math

agree but i failed in CS too JFL.
i was not interested in this autistic ass algorithms and binary tree or sum shii

 

[Surfsup]

Jfl if ur studying in 2025
AI takeover by the time u finish
No more jobs for you

GET A JOB invest in BTC BUILD A BUSINESS STUDYING IS COPE

 

[itsherlossNVM]

Can vouch, graduated with a CS degree. Going back for my masters in Physics.

CS needs more math to be on par with engineering and physics.

It’s a reason why physicist and engineers can be software developers but computer scientist can’t be theoretical physicist or Mechanical Engineers.

 

[Beastimmung]

Yeah, thats why every other STEM degree can become a competent software developer, even if they lack some of the technical background information CS studends get.

Stem is for nerds and jeets it fucking sucks

 

[FastBananaCEO]

people are saying CS is the new business/communications degree but i dont really see it tbh

Pays quite well tho

It's because the media was bombarding normies for the past 10 years with the idea that anyone that took a shitty programming bootcamp or a cs degree would find a 6 figures remote job with no experience.

I see niggas throwing this saying CS is the hardest thing in the world bro.

The niggas saying that are probably the 100 iq normies with a 5 second attention span that struggle to do basic algebra. They exist in all STEM fields but they usually switch on their first year to business or some other bullshit major

AI will takeover any of those anyways. Just focus on spending time in the beach and the mountains while you still can. Enjoy good food too. @optimisticzoomer

CS usually gets brutal in PhD

 

[dongle344]

It only pays well if you're very good otherwise it pays meh if you manage to find a job it's over saturated finance pays as well and gets you way more opportunities

 

[Jason Voorhees]

Cs PhD is brutal yes but you could still argue EE PhD in worse. Both are nothing compared to PhD in pure sciences like theoretical physics and computational chemistry etc

 

[loyolaxavvierretard]

True, but in general engg is less abstract than pure science like physics and chemistry. Electrical is more abstract than all other disciplines and CS basically becomes semi philosophical in certain departments the way I have read about the early fathers of Machine Learning

 

[Jason Voorhees]

Finance only executive roles pays well otherwise it is also meh. In tech don't need elite connections or a fancy degree just skills. It os saturated yes but there plenty of job openings for Entry level devs that hit 6 figures. Also you can work remotely, and even build side projects that make money. In finance, unless you're in top-tier IB, VC, or PE with strong networking, the pay is mid and growth is slow. Tech is still the fastest most scalable path to wealth for most people.

No it's not, if you come from a target uni you don't need to be executive to get a well paying job. Connections are over romanticized people actually go out of their way to get connections and on both sides you just need to be hard working and likeable and if you're already that I promise you don't even need a target uni.
Entry level jobs are what's over saturated in tech yeah there's a few jobs where you'll make 100k but there's so many people it's hard to stand out there's like 3000 guys fighting for that one cs job you better be lucky if you want that job in finance you just need to be htn + and be hard working and you get the job

We need mass male sterilisation
Or perhaps just monkpill everyone for a natural approach

 

[User28823]

I agree only in that I am abysmal at physics and physics is the foundation for most traditional engineering courses

Math I can ace all day everyday

I think vector calculus is just a branch of calc 3 and was the easiest part of the calc 1-3 courses for me, calc 2 being the most difficult by far

What I disagree with is the boatload of "software engineers arent engineers" takes I've heard mostly originating from kids still in college crying that they failed their last engineering exam and want to opt for something 'easier'

 

[gooner23]

Nothing hard with chat gpt tbh

 

[SoNotFunny]

Been a year since I graduated with my CS degree and still have no job

Too many moids on the planet that cause problems. It's always men. We must secure a safe place for women.

A htb-stacylite joined when I started IT last autumn, and she got A lol, meanwhile I dropped out. She gave me ioi once tho

 

[NotAMogger]

The hardest CS courses are the ones that have pure math involved. Programming courses are more about work ethic rather than intelligence, since they tend to have a high workload.

 

[NotAMogger]

I also thought civil engineering was supposed to be one of the easiest eng degrees.

Personally I don't agree.

I have a first class degree in CS and I was crap at programming. The course is designed in a way that you can get good grades despite being garbage at programming.

I was always mediocre at it from the start. Some were just naturally good at it.

The assignments and projects in python, I did ok on, got like 60-70%, but java ones I was crap at, barely passed or even failed some assignments.

And I was good at maths and physics, got top grades in high school, far more intuitive than programming which was all abstract logic, which I my weak point.

I've done online IQ tests which are somewhat predictable to real IQ tests (e.g CAIT), every aspect, I am above average around 120 IQ, but perceptual reasoning with the matrices e.g Mensa Norway test, which is testing for problem solving abilities (which is programming in essence), I am plain average.

So yeh some are just naturally good at programming and others not so good.

Maybe AI changes it and id be decent, part of it may just be lack of practice and keeping track of all the different functions etc.

But do you think there'd be any decent IT tech jobs which I could do? My interests are computer security, privacy, bitcoin.
