Because a lot of people don’t see college as a learning opportunity but as an earnings opportunity since most high paying jobs require a degree. Money being involved corrupts the whole learning process.

Because those idiots just want the paper and a job and $$. The problem with this genius plan is sooner or later it catches up with them , when they get fired or kicked out of med school or grad school.

We have never had as many professional faculties kick students out as in the last 2 years at my university. All entered with A+ transcripts. My own courses are now 100% back to paper quizzes, and digital notes will not be shared and 1/3 of lectures are back to the chalkboard. When they learn this on first lecture, 1/4 drop the course -don't let the door hit your asses on the way out. Have fun in PSYCH.

I went to the gym and used a forklift to lift the weights.

I work at a university and also have many degrees. You'd be amazed at the number of times I have heard people tell me that they aren't interested in learning, they just want the paper so that they can get a job. For many people, improvement and growth aren't part of the equation, they are only focusing on a future paycheck.

Because US colleges are becoming degree mills.

I've been in industry for 10 years, got let go and have also been unemployed. The industry is terrible right now. I'm looking to career switch because I'd rather make less money doing something I love than continue to put a paycheck above my morals.

My hope is that after the bubble pops, the engineers who haven't had their brains rotted away by AI tools become much more valuable

Which is weird because I have an opening for multiple devs yet all I’m getting are bots.

We are the same person...

You could make a start-up search-engine that reliably filters out any AI content.

$10 per year subs. I'll be your first subscriber :]

There are SD jobs in India. That's what companies mean by AI.

Developers are not computer scientists.

There's software engineering degrees with less math reqs if you just want to be a code monkey

At Harvard students aren't even showing up to lectures.

In a few years, you can wipe your ass with those degrees.

The lack of math preparedness is an unrelated factor, and is probably due to the decline in high school math standards in California over the past decade due to the implementation of “Common Core” curriculum.
