    People have an expectation problem.

    University’s are about education not job training. If you need to understand the difference think sex education vs sex training.

    Computer science, law school, and other degree fields aren’t (directly) about getting a job. It’s about giving you an education, context, and teaching you how to think and research.

    It’s been distorted over the years, specifically by the last two generations whose parents basically said “you have to go to college to get a job”.

    There is value to computer science education. That foundation is important to making better developers and better software.

      If that’s the case, they need to stop with the deceptive marketing. Because they are absolutely outwardly promising career opportunities.
