Honestly, you are right it didn't. CS majors get way less work than Software Engineers where I live. CS is mostly academic and not practical. Maybe different elsewhere, but not a golden ticket. I don't like working with compsci grads because they don't know how to make stuff. They don't know best practices or how to make reusable code and features. Software engineers on the other hand, actually useful contributors.

Nevertheless, Software engineering, just like other engineering fields, way way way over saturated. Mechanical and electrical engineers in places like Toronto are just working Starbucks. You gotta be top of class or there's nothing for you.
