I went to school for CS out of passion, computers and software have been my bread and butter since I was a kid. Currently on month 7 of the job hunt with no bites. I got another degree in math for similar reasons, but job prospects from that are pretty slim too. It’s a grim landscape; there’s work to be done and a need for more workers, but it’s more profitable to bleed the existing workforce white than to hire new people in any real quantity. And they lean on “AI” as an excuse for the hiring freezes but the reality of that grift is obvious; it’s all just bluster and excuses to pad the margins.
