I was planning to study computer science, but now people say AI is reducing entry-level coding jobs. Is CS still worth it, or should students choose something else?

AI Summary

People debate whether computer science remains a strong major as AI changes software jobs and entry-level hiring.

I stayed in tech but leaned toward data analytics and cybersecurity because I wanted broader options. If you like CS, do it. If you only picked it because someone said it guarantees money, think carefully. The students who are genuinely curious usually survive the hard parts better.

CS teaches problem-solving, data structures, systems and abstraction. Those skills are bigger than one programming language. AI may change coding tasks, but it also creates demand for people who understand software deeply enough to build, evaluate and maintain systems.

Computer science is still useful, but the bar is higher. You cannot just graduate knowing basic coding and expect the market to carry you. Projects, internships, systems knowledge, communication and learning how to work with AI tools matter a lot now.
