Judging from the recent hiring commentary, those from school with proper degrees aren’t going to be hired either. At least not hired until the AI hype dies down. As I said, it’s the practice and results - what code you’ve made and how it’s used. Gotta rise above the madding crowd. Now, I’m not sure the managers even care about anything other than reducing headcount.

And I wasn’t saying not get a degree, merely not get one in cs. Get one where da can be applied.

Engineering, Chemistry, Biology to start. Simulation, property prediction, implementation of AI/ML, data and model validation, databasing, e-notebooks, structure elucidation... Lots of stuff uses computers to facilitate how projects move forward.
