    I work at a university and also have many degrees. You’d be amazed at the number of times I have heard people tell me that they aren’t interested in learning, they just want the paper so that they can get a job. For many people, improvement and growth aren’t part of the equation, they are only focusing on a future paycheck.

      they navigate a degree constantly pinging reddit for the bird courses then post “where’s my $200,000 job” like they are victims.

        This does happen. It’s also why I suggest that most people probably shouldn’t study CS. CE/EE is a much more stable field.
