>Should I keep pursuing my degree even if I hate it?
No. It's not going to ever become "fun" even after you get your expensive piece of paper.

>Computer Science.
Programming was never fun except for a select few of us. And given that all the code monkey jobs are being handed to LLMs, you'll never find work and your expensive piece of paper will be even more useless.

Always.

Simply not true.

>No. It's not going to ever become "fun" even after you get your expensive piece of paper.
Working is not about having fun, dickhead, it's about selling your time to pay your bills for the highest amount of money you can, and being a codecell has a very high rate, way better than trades, and other jobs.

>you'll never find work and your expensive piece of paper will be even more useless.
False again. Having that piece of paper increases your chances of getting a job, it doesn't mean you will get the job right away, it's just one of the steps you have to take it to get the job. Most people in the field have degrees, and if you don't, you better be a genius or have started 20 years ago.

every degree ever
you're not learning the job you'll be working
you're learning fundamentals and how to research

that then begs the question: why do jobs care about degrees so much if none of them have any transferrable knowledge or skills? by the time you graduate college, you will forget 90% of what you learned. i know how to code but there is so much to software engineering than just coding that take as long as the actual degree to learn. why dont companies care about that instead of a useless degree?

Amerimutt cope. No wonder you get scammed out of tens of thousands of dollars. The American college stockholm syndrome must be studied someday in functional countries(Russia and China)

This mf still thinks we’re going back to the world we lived in 6 months ago (we’re not)

>I may as well have just studied something I actually cared about even if it wouldn't get me a job
you already have the answer

Degrees function as a filter, not a credential.
Companies get hundreds of applications. A degree requirement cuts that number dramatically with zero effort on their part. It's lazy screening, but it works at scale. The degree doesn't tell them you know anything useful, it tells them you're the kind of person who commits to something for four years and finishes it, and can make it through a collaborative environment with certain behavioral expectations. That's the actual signal, because in the real world, there's a ton of volatile high-ceiling people that aren't stable enough to hire at a major business.
