Is it still worth getting a CS / CE degree in 2026?

Probably not.

ChatGPT-6 just came out.
Engineers and programmers are obsolete.

Terrible advice. He's just going to drown in debt that he'll never be able to pay off.

Go train and study for a job that doesn't use computers. Like farming. AI will do everything else.

You know what I mean dawg.
We can't just prompt a shovel to plow the field or pick fruit.
Maybe in 5 years it will though...

>>109733286
like for everything, probably if you’re good at it and competent enough not to use ai for everything
probably not if you’re bad and dependant on ai

Even worse advice. Companies mandate their employers use AI now. If you refuse to then they wont even hire to begin with.

These are the people telling you it's impossible to get a tech job, by the way

Do not go to college unless you have a scholarship, or are completely sure you WILL be able to make money with your degree. One of the most fucked group of people of this decade had to be the people who graduated college in 2022, months before ChatGPT came out, but after spending two years doing online course work for university.

Also, some of us are managers or in positions to hire people.

I know several companies for example that completely froze junior positions. They only want Seniors and its to help them train their AI and then fire them. Kek.

You don't need to know this trivial boomer shit anyway when it's one AI prompt (or 1 google search if you're poor) away. Critical thinking isn't taught at these schools and that's what separates the engineers from code monkeys. I'd sooner hire a well adjusted guy or gal who knows how to talk to clientele than some nerd who goes on and on about linux task scheduling

I got mine in 2024 and would do it again if I hadn't a degree.
If you do it because you love computas and programming and stuff, then yes, it's worth it.
If you want to study it because of the money, then no.

Hello saar, to answer your question, it depends...

I got a job by learning basic python + vibecoding one shitty web app. I'm also enrolled part time in Software Engineering at their request, so basically what I'm trying to tell you is that you probably want a degree but you can still get a job even without it nowadays.

Unironically military is the best option right now.
You get a guaranteed pension just for serving and constant salary growth with each promotion.

And since Drones are popular you might even get to avoid the frontlines. Just grab an Xbox controller and destroy the enemy.

These questions are retarded.
>>
>>109733750
how can you expect someone to be a competent software engineer if their computer is a magical box to them and they don't even know how their programming language runs. How can you even expect them to know what to prompt or when
>>
>>109733286
I don't know, the market is not good at all right now, but since he got every single one of those questions at least half wrong, I'm going to say that it definitely wasn't worth it for him.

>Critical thinking isn't taught in schools
Fair
>Now let me tell you why a normie with basic social skills is a better programmer than a programmer that knows about his domain
Yeah you're a real critical thinker anon.

Most of them are actually really good. The fact the dude is floundering and can't define basic concepts, instead relying on throwing out somewhat related words without clearly specifying what he's talking about shows he doesn't really have a concrete mental model of the field he's studying. Replying "well it depends on the language, it's bytes and bits and stuff" without any coherent definition of machine code, assembly language, or high-level languages is very telling of the complexity of neural connections inside that man's brain.
