Comp Sci isn’t IT. Let’s be real here. I have a degree in Electrical Engineering. When I was in school you were getting laughed for choosing IT over any engineering discipline ESPECIALLY over Comp Sci, EE, and ECE.

Not compared to engineering it wasn’t.

I know we were 300+ in my elec engineering undergrad only 50 of us graduated

Occupationally yes but toss a degree requirement in there and watch those numbers dwindle FAST

bro I’m 31 I’m telling just like the poster above if you chose IT over any engineering discipline back in the day you were getting laughed at. I’m not knocking IT I wish went it over electrical engineering I would have saved my self so much pain and heartache but the only reason I didn’t was due to stigma that’s why I never switched or dropped out of engineering
What kind of cap is this? Where the fukk nerdy as school you go to where they even having those corny ass conversations. Who ever laughed at an IT degree? I could see saying going the engineering route was the better route but neither were getting laughed at regardless.

Welcome to Boston, Massachusetts.

My Professors laughed at ppl for dropping out of engineering to go the technician route.

Academia over here ruined education for me which is why I don’t care to get a masters degree unless I’m forced to by my job.

Explains your rationale….. You weren’t born until the mid 90s but trying to tell nikkas who lived through 90s what was actually going on…. :childplease: Can’t make this shyt up…. :smh:
Again I’m saying compared to more set in stones disciplines you were looked at crazy for choosing IT over computer engineering or electrical engineering

I don't put much weight into which major some college student thought was more prestigious. IT Careers ran away with the best occupation title and it's not even close. And that's despite rampant outsourcing and immigrant visa programs pulling down wages.

I’m not saying it’s not because when it comes to work life balance they definitely won. It’s some serious bs over on my side
