      There’s already a glut of tech workers. The IT job market already sucks

      I don’t imagine AI is going to make it much worse

        The glut of US tech workers is due to the excessive number of H1B visas being issued. This year, the number was almost the same, but slightly higher than the total number of US tech graduates. Why hire an expensive American new graduate when you can hire someone from India with 3-5 years of experience at 60% market rate instead?

      You should meet the maths majors who aren’t really interested in maths but think a maths degree will allow them to become hedge fund managers or similar

      Hum… The US is imploding in general, but there’s nothing on the horizon that could collapse the IT job market.

      “Make people study”? You’re mistaken. No one is making anyone study.

      Charge people to study? You bet your ass they’ll take as many people as are willing to pay their overpriced fees. Finding a job after? Getting decent pay? That’s a you problem as far as they’re concerned.

        Huh? First 9 years of school is absolutely mandatory where I come from, now 12 I think soon.

        Then after 12 years of school you still need a degree for most job listings. That’s optional but it’s free so you’re seen as uneducated if you don’t get a degree.
