Do u guys think that compsci will still be in demand after 10+ years considering that there are so many people doing it?
Many people ATTEMPT it, but people drop the degree after comp1511 (unsw's intro to programming) if they didnt like it. The first course isn't too bad if you programmed before but definitely breaks the morale of many people who do it "for the money" and have no experience in coding. It's probably laughable to anyone who's coded before to a significant extent but I can't say anything.
I was hoping to do double degree with CS next year as one of my preferences, how much programming knowledge is sufficient for the degree?? I have a basic to intermediate knowledge of python and I was learning JavaScript during lockdown (forgot most of it though) and I was wondering if I needed to learn more
My honest opinion is that maybe the software engineering area might not be in a lot demand but other areas such as cyber sec will be in some demand. Also even with stuff like software engineering/development there is still some demand you just gotta work for it as if you demonstrate skill have work experience then there is a decent chance that you'll land a job in software development. The thing is that you gotta really work for it as if you just get the degree then it'll be hard but if you show strong problem solving/programing skills, have a decent portfolio, know how to do well in coding interviews and have worked a bit as an intern then you'll be ahead of people who just get the degree and expect to land a job
Tbh it really depends because learning to code is not just learning a language it's about learning how to problem solve, learning how to interpret code and understand why it was written. So in my opinion it really depends on the person because some people might struggle while others might find it incredibly easy to learn. However, if you do decided to learn programming for uni I would recommend learning about how to program in general so don't just follow tutorials on how to program in xyz and instead learn about the fundamentals of programming. One thing that many programmers recommend is that you should work on projects and not just follow tutorials because that's how you end up in "tutorial hell" where you can't actually program and just can only follow someone else.
Oops, I forgot that one mb. Just pick whatever field closely relates to what you teach. Also it won't let me add any more options.
Agreed, temp has masterfully integrated the cyberspace into his realm of stalking. My congratulations to this young fine gentleman in being a role model to everyone in this era on how to adapt to the fast-paced nature of this environment.
Chatgpt will catch on and then that degree will be less valuable than summer ant.
Lowtiergod is my study music
Do you want to do Actuarial?
that or data science are what i want to do the most, i put more science-focused degrees on my preferences too but i might be bending towards those
Yeah I might transfer into it next year
