A lot of that is jobs requiring a BS for no reason and not even using the skills it teaches, and those jobs complaining that colleges don't teach enough Java or some other shitty industry tool or whatever in their theoretical computer science programs and colleges lowering standards to make themselves more marketable with higher graduation rates. And now they have software engineering degrees which is probably more relevant for a lot of software engineering jobs but they still expect CS.
