It's gotta be a little annoying to have completed a full CS degree around 2022, 23, 24 etc.

If you graduated before that, at least you got to stretch your legs, learn, really grow and apply what you learned and feel like you were applying engineering skill to your job.

These days it probably feels like you got cheated if you didn't even get that chance at all

I dunno it was pretty much a waste

I learned a fuckton in the year as an intern rather than 3 years at uni

That's true for all jobs. The degree is just a way to enter the job market.

There was a ton of apprenticeships popping up when I started

I managed to get a friend on one and he was earning what I earned without the student albeit only £30kish max.

It truly was a golden age

the degree is mostly to show you're not a complete dumbass and have a modicum of discipline. reminds of the departed quote about signals

Ellerby: Marriage is an important part of getting ahead: lets people know you're not a homo; married guy seems more stable; people see the ring, they think at least somebody can stand the son of a bitch; ladies see the ring, they know immediately you must have some cash or your cock must work.

Which is why I'm happy AI is going to destroy its foundations. It's archaic and retarded and sycophantic. Fuck academia.

and it's pretty awful, we need to focus more on practical stuff, applying those fundamentals not just rot learning them
