Nowadays what matters most isn't even your degree, it's your university, so this discussion is useless.
This is extremely true for degrees like Econ and finance, there are target schools recruiters specifically hire from. But for STEM it's far less true. There's comparatively less elitism in STEM, that's why you have to undergo 5 practical examinations to join Google, and they let basically everyone with a CS degree and experience attempt it.
what do u study?
He'll save money and he can apply to T20 schools along with the Ivys. It's a win-win.
Nah if you want top MANGA jobs it's going to be much, much harder if you're not going to a good uni to begin with.
Not true at all in my experience. Plenty of MANGA engineers from public universities. There's far more reliance on Leetcode (blind 75) and practical interviews where you to write code and go over your thought process on a whiteboard. It's extremely meritocratic as long as you meet the base requirements.
Im going to community college for two years before uni any tips on what to study i want to do cs but could i do a dual degree aka AC in a similar field then cs in uni
Imo study purely CS the dual degree won't matter when it comes to transferring. Lower your workload by dedicating yourself purely to CS so you can earn better grades. Only the major on the final school you graduate from matters.
There's already a lot of weed out courses at decent universities that weed out some of those TikTok people but the oversaturation is undeniable, we've already been seeing it's effects. Thankfully it's limited mostly to new grads and first jobs. Once you actually break in it's smooth sailing, but breaking in can be quite difficult and some people spend months unemployed before their first job. Ideally you apply during your senior year or intern somewhere earlier and they extend an offer to come back so that you dodge this struggle.
Medicine/law is the most subhuman degree possible. All those years of school is not worth it
you're 17 in 8th grade?
nigga you should be going to college this year, you're not even in high school yet
A decade of schooling meanwhile software engineers were earning six figures for 6 years of that time, already own a home and have a family. Plus doctor/lawyer are far more stressful.
Exactly that’s what I’m saying
I feel like this is good advice but only one problem all the community colleges near me don't offer cs the best degree i could find is CyberSecurity should i study that?

Math, Physics, and Engineering like CE or EE still mog. They could end up with your job if they wanted or they could do something else.
practicing code also makes you have batman tier IQ
No, very bad. Don't study this.
@MakinMogReturns you don't have to learn it in community, you could just study online, as it's superior.
jfl as if the average programmer makes 6 figures yearly
Depends on the school where I am looking at they still require you to know linear Algebra and Calculus 2. A lot algirthom classes require hard math
Max senior devs are making is about 300k before tax
Wait I really want to go and do community as it' legit free and my mom says i need to do college irl to stay should i do Cyber Security or
I've found that the C.S coursework at uni is pretty chill but solving novel medium and hard leetcode problems is brutal af. It's still a very good deal though overall for all the reasons you've said.
Though I'm currently stemceling I'm thinking of droping out because I'm too lowIQ
CS > CE and EE
Tell me you don’t know anything about CS without telling me you don’t know anything about CS:
Even for those with the right qualifications the competition is pretty intense for those six figure roles. Most people would have to settle for some web development type roles which also are competitive and not being heavily outsourced.
appeal to inertia. the vast majority is relegated to webdev and the entry barrier isn't like medicine or law straight out of school. ironic as fuck since cs majors are the most autistic but need alot of networking and meritocratic experience
Tell me you don’t know anything about CS without telling me you don’t know anything about CS:
copy and pasting twitter memes doesn't change reality. keep living the fairytale in ur head
The reality is that CS is a high paying degree that’s versatile, is growing at a fast rate, has plenty of job opportunities including WFH and is fun. I don’t need some Looksmax.org incel telling me that it’s bad or that it’s not ideal
did u read that on reddit or some techie article? never said its a useless degree just know what ur getting into
No it’s backed by stats and people who actually graduated with a degree and work.
