Computer science education in Bolivia is in a worryingly underdeveloped state, and this point deserves to be emphasized. While in other countries the teaching of programming, robotics, and computational thinking has become an essential part of the school curriculum from an early age, in Bolivia a limited approach still predominates, focused on the basic use of office software and with little integration of computer science as a formative discipline. on this at UPEA

no bueno.

Then it's by definition not computer science. Hell, if you do not have a class on algorithms, data structures, and complexity theory, then it is like having a physics curriculum without studying gravity.

In my university, computer science means CAD, electronics, electricity and programming,
At least we program something and then document it in LaTeX (we need to learn it ourselfs).

Good. Zoomers need help to do even that.

Looks like the average third world lesson on computers. They don't even teach robotics here. I mean, nobody can afford an 8-bit hobbyist microcontroller here.

Nevermind, yours are on the mediocre side.

This is not true. The US has trouble producing people who are literate. If you ever encounter programming, robotics, etc before undergrad, it will be a small number nerdy white and Asian highschoolers. Even this is socially discouraged by other students and sexual selection. Join robotics and AP classes, be lonely and have no prom date, or join football and weightlifting and have sex with every cheerleader at least once.

The whole culture here is built around discouraging intelligence and rewarding stupidity. This is unironically why the US is falling behind in tech/science/math.

You'll just use Argentine colleges like you always do.

that looks like more engineering than the CS they do in the big universities.

CSlets are all about big O notation until they find out it doesn't apply to real life data.
there's a good paper by Bjarne Stroustrup that shows that in modern compiled languages, a lot of O(n) algorithm run way faster than O(log n) or even O(1) algorithm for doing the same task. That's because O(n) only make sense as n goes to infinity, in the real world, n is often bounded.

Of all people that graduated the same year as me, the guy who gets paid the most does ms office macros all day. He works for a company that does commodity trading, he knows jack shit about trading, but every year he has to update every single macros his company uses.

niche language can actually make good bucks, especially since you won't find many candidates with knowledge in office macro knowledge. It's the same if you know lisp, on paper it's a pretty useless language, unless you work in an engineering firm, because every autodesk software (autocad especially) uses lisp for automating tasks/plugins

Can I come to Bolivia and get paid to teach CS?
