Everyone spent this summer arguing whether a computer science degree is worth it in 2026 - I have three of them 😬 and I still failed two programming subjects in my first year. The degree did not make me employable; four years of being confused on purpose made me able to read anything I am handed, which took much longer to pay off. Tag someone starting their first semester in a few weeks, or someone who nearly quit in year one and stayed. 👩‍💻 (Episode 1 of Brutal truths.) Number behind this one: undergraduate enrolment in computer and information sciences at US four-year institutions fell 8.4% in spring 2026 compared with a year earlier - National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, reported August 2026. #computerscience #csdegree #softwareengineer #codingstudent #womenintech programming firstsemester cslife
