In UK, Computer Science Graduates the Least Employable

Posted by timothy on from the double-major-next-time dept.

Rogerborg writes "The BBC reports that in the UK, computer science graduates are now the least employable of students leaving with a degree, 17% of them being unable to find a job within six months of graduation. Unsurprisingly, medics, educators and lawyers do better, but even much mocked communications and creative arts graduates are finding work more easily."

    If they're the type of person who believes a job is beneath them I don't want them on my team. Especially if they are fresh out of school.

    If you're fresh out of school and are offered a job in your field that is entry level, it is not beneath you. For the most part entry level people get entry level jobs. Then if you have any chops you can move up more quickly than others who are less qualified.
