The computer science degree is still the one I would recommend for anyone trying to get into tech. Getting into tech doesn’t just mean software engineering or cybersecurity. Getting into tech can also mean project management, product management, quality assurance, AI research, consulting, and a host of other things that require you to THINK like a technologist. A computer science degree teaches you how to think algorithmically and solve complex problems. #fyp #computerscience #techcareers
