They’re still doing better than a lot of fields. I mean when you factor in compensation it’s still one of the best fields to be in. Compare to a teacher, where you’ll need a master’s degree in most states and then you can expect a salary around 40k. Whereas with software, when you do find a job it’s not unusual to start over 100k. But if you were willing to work for half that, I bet you’d find something quick.

Plenty have given up after graduating and being on the job search for 2 or 3 years.
At least as a plumber or electrician you can actually still get a job.
They aren’t paying 100k for some fresh grad they need to train. They will pay them to train their AI models at the lowest possible price point though.
CS has a pretty high unpemployment rate and that was pre-covid too. yea maybe it was meant for grad school from the sounds of it.
