In UK, Computer Science Graduates the Least Employable
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."
All the computer science uber-gods were mathematicians, physicists and engineers by training anyway.
People who start with math, physics because it's challenging often end up in computers because it's fun.
People who aim for C.S. often seem to because they felt there would be a well-paying job, perhaps? I still can't believe you can get a degree for writing code.
C.S. Lewis' Principle of First and Second Things applies.
Mark me as a troll if you like, it won't alter the grain of truth in this...
RTFA you moron.
The article does not say Computer Science majors are not employable because CS majors are stupid. The article says the UNEMPLOYMENT RATE for CS majors is the highest among most majors. Which means CS majors are having a tough time finding jobs which indicates there isn't a demand for CS majors!!
Did you notice Engineering came in 3rd at 13%. Are you saying more and more people who don't know anything about engineering are enrolling in engineering programs?
Seriously, you should not be a lecturer.
