Is a Computer Science Degree WORTHLESS 🤯? (in the age of AI)

I've been thinking lately if it's still worth it to pursue my Computer Science degree, given that AI is changing our jobs and lives at a neckbreaking speed. Hope this video is helpful for some of you who are asking yourselves the same question! Thank you for watching 😇.

I just finished my CSE Bachelors a few weeks ago, and I agree. Chat gpt is wrong a lot. If you don't know the fundamentals, you wouldn't recognize that. Plus, technology is always changing, and LLM's will always be a little behind the latest stuff. I took a class where we used Elixir with the Phoenix framework, and ChatGPT didn't know much about the latest version.

I’m 39 and have a solid job now but I’ll be stuck where I live. I’ve been considering going back to school and finishing finally my bachelor’s but not sure in what field. Seriously have been considering CS but don’t know if my brain is capable anymore! Plus, it’s hard finding good answers and good advice. Your video has helped motivate me a little but the future of the field still seems a bit uncertain.

from the perspective of a self-taught programmer, I think that when faced with a problem, whether it's ChatGPT or StackOverflow, you still need to use the right terminology to (hopefully) get an answer that works.
Of course what you also need, is logical thinking, problem solving skills, as well as being able to take an example or concept (from whatever source), and adapt it to what you need.
Oh, and I think a Computer Science degree is always going to be a useful and valuable thing to have.

Thankss!! This video helped me select my major in school...❤

I have subscribed your channel when you had almost 1k subscribed. So nice to see you grow so fast..

I was in IT for most of my adult life. I’m now retired. I urge you to complete your degree. I am sure it will be useful. Also brush up on linear algebra, calculus and statistics. All the best.

So, I completed a bachelor's degree and graduated in 2014 with a computer science degree. I learned all the fundamentals, but I specialized a bit more in network security, which I found rather interesting, along with other coding and programming aspects. Whether a bachelor's degree in computer science helps in the job market really depends. Some organizations, particularly government types, require a bachelor's degree in a computer science or IT-related program, along with membership in organizations like MIET or similar. In the private sector, it's not always necessary, especially in smaller organizations, where experience matters more. Having a bachelor's degree in an IT-related field can give you a slight edge, but in the IT industry, there's a lot of debate about the value of certifications versus degrees, as they are not equivalent due to different exam structures. These are just my thoughts on the matter.

First Comment : Great video as usual thu vu, wish you all the best

[digishabi]

such as enlightening you tell about software engineering 💥💫

[vulpixelful]

I think "low tech" tech jobs will have to be more technical. Like, I'm surprised that cybersecurity professionals don't even have to learn to code, or how a modern system works. At my job, cybersecurity people help to fill out forms on risk assessment, while the actual security engineers have a cloud infrastructure background and had to teach themselves about the security aspect.

Like you said, I think you'll have to have a more technical understanding to effectively use AI in your tech role.

One of the most logical videos I have ever seen. This girl is Magic.

[jakewolf]

On the contrary, since AI can write code anyway, having degree will give you a proper edge over bootcamps/self-taughts when it comes to understanding of the system

[jimcallahan]

I believe that having a fundamental understanding of how stuff works will be valuable in the 21st century.
You might learn how stuff works at a fundamental level by taking physics, electrical engineering or computer science. A math or physics degree might be useful for the intimidation factor. Know your applied math (or at least how to get things done on a computer). I would suggest taking intro level courses in the social sciences. I used to think economics was helpful, economics has sort of a barbell utility; the intro (first year) level is useful and econometrics is useful, but everything else is if not a waste of time at least a high opportunity cost when one could be studying other subjects. The underlying human behavior paradigm of economics is too narrow (study some intro psychology). Statistics is very useful, but again the underlying paradigm is too narrow, though Bayesian statistics will continue to grow in importance.

For actual computer science, sure it is - but a lot of what people would want to do in tech has very little to do with what is covered in CS academia. "This is computer science - why would you be coding? Now, lets talk about circuits..."

[_mahyar_]

i am an electrical engineer and don't know much about computers and IT. would you please tell me that learning data science is easy to learn or you recommend something else to earn money with?

[liquncao]

Back in 70s and &0s, lots of people believed that coding or application development would be done by high school kids, not college graduates. 40 years later, college graduates are still dominate the tech industry. Now people believe IA will soon replace college graduates in CS. I would think that AI will replace other jobs first before CS jobs be replaced. Who will be continuing AI development? It may still have a long way to go for AI to be able to develop AI without human involvement. That human involvements are CS/tech jobs.

AI is crazy RN! Such a valid question to answer! 🙌🏼

[mangoct]

I’m thinking of making my major a double, business and Comp sci with a focus on AI. would that be a good idea?

[matrix-vlim]

Im really eager to learn. I want to obtain a associates in AI engineer or cs. So far cs seems important and ai engineer seems to be very limited to ai and not things outside of it

[tzimisce]

All the people who fearmonger about AI don't know what AI is at this point. Custom solutions are still necessary. Analysis is till necessary, and the design choices for the analysis as well. Basically computer scientists will be to AI later what economists are to companies.
The only problem right now is that people don't realize this, and so everyone is saying "What do I need an economist for?". A tectonic event has to happen for everyone to become scared, and then they'll all start hiring computer scientists. Tectonic event like when GDPR came up for Facebook in the U.S. senate, and suddenly every single company reacted to it.
