I think we should consider changing up the CS degree to incorporate more hands on stuff with tech.
Before I got my CS I got an associates in Network and System Administration. To this day I think that two year degree was more beneficial to my career than the CS. And that kind of knowledge now is needed. A.I. can't run cables, install servers, design and deploy wireless infrastructure in the oil field, etc. And I made six figures doing that just like the programmers with only a CS.
We just need to adjust. Either change the CS or start pushing a different degree to the kids.
