Why arn't you guys looking for jobs?

I should have majored in music. Getting a bs&masters in STEM was a huge mistake.

Unemployment rate is the percentage of people in the labor force without jobs.
If you're NEET and not looking for a job you're counted as outside the labor force.

same thing here, i got bachelors and masters in STEM and that was a horrible mistake

If it was at least actual degree in mathematics, then that would be fine because AI, accounting, finance, engineering, all fields math is applicable.

90% of cs students are dumb fuck grifters who didn't touch a terminal until the school forced them to

Okay at least like 70%. Anyone who actually cares is getting work with the right amount of effort.

a good 12 years ago architecture was also highly pursued

This is true. Programmers are complaining that companies aren't hiring while companies are drowning in pajeet resumes. The problem isn't the lack of jobs, the problem is that there's no reliable interviewing system that would get good programmers to good companies and shit programmers to shit companies.

>>109286638
there is but they don't want that because then women would be out of their daycare jobs and might actually start forming families and having children again, which would throw a big wrench in their plans

In the beginning of 2026 I was replaced by AI.

no, probably only 30-40% cs graduates find job in tech industry. other 60-70% go to non-tech jobs like mcdonalds, walmart, starbucks etc

It's easier to get into tech than it is to get into mcdonalds.

The problem with computer engineering schools is that they dont produce computer engineers. You can finish the school without learning anything. It just gives you a useless paper.

There are famously no jobs for musicians.
And if you finish your school it means you didn't make it as a popular musician - the remaining options being becoming a teacher yourself or working for a orchestra - but you have to be properly good for this to happen as you're competing with all the other failed musicians.

Fucking this. I fell for the meme, got a CS bachelor and wage slaved for a decade as web designer and than as data analyst.

Let me tell you one thing:
Office work will suck the life out of you. And no, you won't get flithy rich, unless you are one of the few whizz-kids in the field. If you are reading this, chances are high you're not.

The truth is, you should do what makes you happy. If it's making music, being an actor or playing football - follow your star at all costs and see what happens.

Personally I have decided to work with children, because I could no longer imagine grinning nd nodding at narcistic sociopaths who think they are the second coming of christ because they wear an expensive suit.

The whole CS industry is rotten to the core and toxic as hell. Abonadon ship while you still can, work as gardener. You will thank me in 10 years.

Yup. Found the STEM retard.
>>
those are all careers where if you aren't great to exceptional at your job then you aren't interesting to employers
there is also a matter of grads just being retarded. I think it was on this board some zoomers were telling me that they want "$300+k starting" in tech, because "you can't live on less", but they have to start sweeping floors for months to years job searchingsince they can't find an """appropriate""" one, it's really funny.
>>
>>109290631
You're delusional if you think those are good jobs.
You would spend 75% of your time looking for the next gig, constantly anxious if it will even come.
>>
>>109285675
>Why arn't you guys looking for jobs?

tired boss... of all the jews and jeets.
>>
>>109286680
So what's the point of still giving 30% of fresh cs grads 6 figures when a claude subscription is literally better than them and many laid off industry veterans are desperate for a job?
>>
>>109285675
these numbers would be far higher if they listed the rate by gender. Most male graduates struggle to find anything the women all find a job within a couple weeks.

how did you not know this already when going to university? i picked cs because i love programming, now i get to do programming all day for money. i assume then unemployment in cs issue is because there ar elots of people like you who dont even like programming. i remember walking around and peaking at peoples screens in my lab and the android apps they were making were like soundboards with terrible ui. its like they werent even trying. we did that shit in school when i was like 13 kek
>>
>>109295734
what's the point of programming in 2026? Like everything is done by AI right now. You only do code reviews or just babysitting AI.

in my company we stopped doing code reviews. because it's impossible to do it when every day you assigned to 10 pull requests and each of them is +39351 -10246 lines.

>>
>>109295702
physics is quite shitty degree because you don't learn anything valuable. you either go in academia and trying to get PhD or you just go to some industry like engineering or tech, but since tech is dead and killed by AI, you have no options rather than go to engineering masters after physics bachelor's degree.

my friend got his bachelor degree here in my eastern europoo country and then went to Austria Vienna to get his PhD. he got PhD but he couldn't find a job. so he works at warehouse right now for nearly minimum austrian salary. it's not a joke unfortunately. physcis is shit.
>>
>>109295782
do you understand that more and more companies are full on AI-vibeslopping?
you can move to a decent comany and 6 months later it will turn to be a shithole. look at Meta for example. top management literally destroying working culture everywhere and force you to babysitting AI all the time.

No kidding.
For years everyone would joke about how Nonsense Studies majors didn't have jobs or worked as baristas when in reality they were being hired by well-funded subversives to undermine western society and collapse it from within. Why spend $90 million on military hardware when you can just spend 90k boosting the cancerous grievances of disaffected fatfuck feminists and minorities. CIA does that shit all over the world, that's what USAIDS was all about. It's also the cultural revolution playbook.

Plenty of them were hired by tech companies, even.

But yeah 2024 is out of date, a lot has happened since then.

this is true and a benefit of LLMs. they're filtering out all the people who never actually gave a fuck about computers or programming and just wanted to do CS to get a software engineering job for 3-5 years before transitioning into management

>what's the point of programming in 2026? Like everything is done by AI right now. You only do code reviews or just babysitting AI.
your company sucks and they're just enabling you all to write shit software to churn features out. I get it, but I'd advise you try and find a new job that doesn't have management with LLM psychosis

Labor still has too much bargaining power—this is why inflation is so hard to control: wage-price spiral. 10% unemployment is the target to keep things mostly under control but realistically if we want a better and healthier economy we should be targeting 20% to provide an environment where costly labor entitlements can be more easily rolled back—allowing business to move quickly and advance the economy faster than ever before.

Face it—AI is the future, codetrans. Programming by hand is stealing from your employer.

>>
>>109285841
>actual degree in mathematics
coding jobs expect you to know everything a CS major knows + deeper math. stats jobs expect you to know everything a Stats major knows + deeper math. Finance jobs expect you to know everything a Finance major knows + deeper math. Math is only suitable as a minor or double major to enrich study unless your school has a program with strong industry-relevant concentration paths.
