mr_account@lemmy.world 2 days agoCertainly not going all the way to PHD, but I might have the opportunity to go for Master’s on a grant that waives tuition. Not sure what else to do right now since graduating with a CS degree in this tech market has been a dumpster fire…

i heard cs outside of LEMMY it was pretty much almost lack of job prospects, i was a bio major(cmb) and that it was lacking if you dont have significant experience, or Connections by the time of graduation. and you arnt finding it in COMMUNITY since most people start from there, and uni will not offer voluntarily( cold calling labs will just put the PIs off and ignore you)

With CS/IT, there have been tens of thousands of layoffs every month (in the US alone) for nearly 3 years straight. Too few jobs with everyone having to compete with new grads and all of those hit by layoffs equals a shit situation all around. I’m hoping to pivot into something like bioinformatics which, for the moment, still looks potentially promising as a job prospect.

ive been hearing the cs problem and bio problem for the last 10years, in other forums. i first went to college board(forum) oh and they said cs and biotech isnt in demand and very low job prospects, i was about to say whats the point of taking this then. i think for bio research, i suspect they only want to keep the scientist level people and just get rid of everyone else.
