When I was at MIT recently the physical science departments noted an exodus to Course 6/CS during covid due to limits on lab work. It’s interesting how such events tend to have impacts for generations.
If you are a new student today, is the smart thing to go into engineering due to the huge population entering programming? Or will CS continue to be lucrative with a 2-4x rate of new graduates.
Any chance you could elaborate on what an exodus to Course 6/CS means? Does that mean a bunch of people switched majors to CS or do I have it backwards?
I think it will continue to be relatively lucrative, but I think the entry level will continue to become more competitive and we will see fewer people with a CS dprofessionally if we cross into oversupply.
