I love how they do that entire article and then immediately stick in a shill for fucking AI stock at the bottom.

While we acknowledge the potential of IBM as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

I think this whole thing was written for people from r/WallStreetBets to masturbate to.

They're still doing better than a lot of fields. I mean when you factor in compensation it's still one of the best fields to be in. Compare to a teacher, where you'll need a master's degree in most states and then you can expect a salary around 40k. Whereas with software, when you do find a job it's not unusual to start over 100k. But if you were willing to work for half that, I bet you'd find something quick.

They aren't paying 100k for some fresh grad they need to train. They will pay them to train their AI models at the lowest possible price point though.

Plenty have given up after graduating and being on the job search for 2 or 3 years.

At least as a plumber or electrician you can actually still get a job.

CS has a pretty high unpemployment rate and that was pre-covid too. yea maybe it was meant for grad school from the sounds of it.
