I always wanted to pursue CS as my majors but due to the recent news of SWE getting fired changed my mind

Now I’m confused about what to opt for my bachelors. Should I take CS or a Management degree?

    Just take whatever calls to you. AI isnt going to affect anything long term, but if you dont actually like software engineering you have no chance when you are competing with applicants for jobs who wholeheartedly love the craft.

      It’s called faking enthusiasm and got me every job I had. I hate my job and can’t compete at all with the hotshot kiddos pouring all their lifeforce into it.

      But I stay under the radar, rake in the same amount of cash they do, and stop work at 5pm while they are working till midnight and on weekends for some reason.
