Fewer Software Developers are Entering the Market According to Reports
Fewer software developers are entering the market, according to reports. Software development is still ongoing, but computer science majors are a declining portion of those entering the field. Let’s review the reasons why. Becoming a Programmer No Longer Requires a Bachelor’s Degree Many people who want to become programmers no longer have to earn a bachelor’s degree in computer science to do so. Computer programming boot camps create “code monkeys” who can do the basic coding in a fraction of the time as CS graduates. Software Development for the Cutting-Edge Work Isn’t in Computer Science The proliferation of specialties that used to fall under computer science has led those in cutting-edge information technology fields to come out of other programs. If you want to work in robotics, you’re more qualified in most electrical engineering or mechanical engineering programs than computer science.
