Computer Science Enrolment Didn't Explode — the Job Market Did
Original: Computer Science Didn't Explode. The Job Market Did.
A widely shared commentary argues that the boom in computer science enrolment and hype was less a story of the field itself and more a reflection of a job market that briefly rewarded tech skills like nothing else. It suggests students chased degrees in response to hiring and salary trends rather than pure interest in the discipline.
Why now: Tech hiring slowdowns have put computer science graduates' prospects under scrutiny, prompting debate about whether the degree is still worth it.
