I always wanted to pursue CS as my majors but due to the recent news of SWE getting fired changed my mind

Now I’m confused about what to opt for my bachelors. Should I take CS or a Management degree?

    If you want to pursue CS because you can make money (you did say the alternative was mgmt), DON’T. We don’t need more of you in our industry. It used to be fun before all the would-be lawyers and would-be doctors who don’t care about tech got here. Study literature or something. Leave tech alone.

    Edit: self-taught, no degree.

      I was more interested in programming back then. I even learned java in highschool. I never said I wasn’t interested in programming but you gotta see the reality too

      Passion doesn’t always bring money at home. There is a reason why animators and artists aren’t paid as much as they deserve (I’m not talking about the top 1%)
