Too Many Computer Science Students
from the good-news,-bad-news dept
First the good news. There are more and more students majoring in computer science these days. That means more people to fill some of these open jobs (and yes, there are plenty of open tech jobs). The bad news is that universities are having a tough time keeping up and hiring enough faculty and having enough equipment to handle the rush of students. In many cases they're hiring professors who don't have PhD's and aren't tenured to teach. I think it's important to help people get educated in computer science, and I do think in a lot of cases that you don't need PhD's teaching you - but that might depend on what the students want to learn.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
