currently studying electrical engineering and eyeing CS to switch up but concerned about AI takeover. can you give me your non normie takes about this?

you are utterly retarded if you decide to switch to CS now of all times, unless you don't mind being unemployed

>concerned about AI takeover
won't happen anytime soon, learn to work WITH IT, don't take everything for granted what it spits out. Use your brain. Don't forget to read books to keep your brain sharp
>t. web shitter for over a decade

>>105895204
This. Not even just now, but ever, and especially now. The market is in the toilet and not even because of AI.
EE is far more useful and far more respectable. Do CS on your own. Get a brain moran!

>>105895204
>>105895243
you must be code monkeys who can't code without AI, then yes, you stay unemployed, otherwise? you can still get a job.

>>105895197 (OP)
Electrical engineering is certainly the better path.
Just additionally learn to code.
t. CS degree

>>105895197 (OP)
>CS
CS is bullshit. Shit you learn at a CS degree you don't need for 95% of IT jobs. Leaves niches of LLM development and language development and maybe big data. Heavy math stuff.
Everything else can be self taught especially code monkey jobs.
EE is a completely different story. There will never be a lack of high qualified EE positions.

don't pretend like you know how to code without AI, ranjesh

>>105895197 (OP)
If you are 2+ years from graduating, don't bother with CS. Entry level/new grad job market is cooked

>>105895259
Who offers code jobs nowadays outside of poop continent?

I will be on my second year. I live in a 3rd world country where there isnt much "engineering" for electrical engineers, just construction and factory line shit.
With software engineering I aim to work remote in a web3 job, It certainly wont be easy but atleast I will have a chance.

>>105895197 (OP)
If I was your dad I'd beat your ass for even thinking about dropping EE and switching to CS.

>>105895422
He does actually. He has good connections I would probably get hired right away but I just dont want that kind of "engineering" job. Also pay is never ever lucrative.

>>105895421
>remote in a web3 job
You will be competing with 1.5 billion jeets doing the same shit with AI.
>just construction and factory line shit
>a field that AI will not compete
This is bad why?

>>105895465
Listen to your dad.

>>105895421
>remote in a web3 job
everyone who was in web3 scammed or got scammed.
it's dead.
we're in a recession now so no one has money to fund tard projects.

>>105895323
>There will never be a lack of high qualified EE positions.
introducing circuitgpt

>>105895421
So you are too lazy to do the math. Tough luck. Do your homework, fegget

>>105895519
Hey, I am his dad!

>>105895421
What country is that?

>>105895197 (OP)
Programming job with no connections will require a lot of grinding leetcode and making lots of personal projects with the latest meme frameworks to build your portfolio. If you're lucky you'll be able to use your senior project, but everything else will need to be made on your own time. If that doesn't sound like something you would enjoy, CS is probably not for you unless you know someone who has explicitly told you they are willing to hire you out of college. Companies can afford to be very picky right now since there are way more workers than openings, things may change if interest rates go back down again but I wouldn't count on it in the short term

>>105895197 (OP)
predicting the future is really hard.
what i would do is pretend you are a graduate and look at job postings right now.
look at what the roles are for EE, or CS. how many are there? where are they? what's the pay? what's the work?

then decide which you'd actually prefer to be doing, if you theoretically had your degree right now. because that's the position you'll be in a few years' time.

>>105895197 (OP)
Not OP but
>Independently got into computer science because I like science, math, and messing with computers, not even for money
>Learn to Code, COVID, WFH and Web3 happen
>CS and IT job markets shit themselves halfway during my bachelor's
>Independently got into networks and cybersecurity because I like learning about routing, malware, reverse engineering, etc.
>Cybersec job market in the process of shitting itself halfway during my master's
what the fuck do I do

>>105895421
unironically become a farmer instead and raise a large family, most technical occupations are about to be unemployable.

>>105897620
develop malware unironically.

I'm grad from CS from a T5 school and I'm having trouble getting offers from the simplest places. I actually was deciding between EE and CS and chose CS. Live strong OP and get a job

>>105895197 (OP)
EEs have become so fucking autistic that basically none of them really know how to use git, or any scm for that matter, know how to write simple bash scripts to automate anything, or really do much except shit out shitty C that they don't know either. They are completely unprepared for the world where everything has its own buggy firmware, complex caching hierarchies (sprinkle volatile until it works, if it never works -O0, if that doesn't work cannabalize another driver, repeat, wow muh gpio werks now), and just basic shit like how to install Linux, how to adjust filesystem permissions, how to build programs from source, literally just basic shit.

Those are "successful" people. When they get a dump of platform code from $vendor, they can't even get it into git and then understand you probably need an old Ubuntu plus build-essential, and that you can try shit in a VM, and once it works you can probably even rip a chroot and run it on whatever, because build autism doesn't generally care about differences in kernel, etc, etc, etc.

Basically what we have is CS retards are Indian react shitters who can AI street shit python, and EEs who may be experts in antennas or power distribution but unable to issue basic commands over i2c or spi or whatever and simply export this to userspace for street shitters to interface with, it's a fucking mess. And good luck finding anyone who has ever rebuilt theirown kernel or bootstrapped gcc or installed gentoo O3 or Os for their arch, etc. Or who may understand what a restrict pointer is.

So, what the industry is looking for are young people who are really just oldfags that may be able to tardwrangle oldfags-in-name-only EEs into getting normal software processes in place, just basic shit like branching, releasing (for internal use), release noting, versioning, using JIRA, having a Confluence page, etc. Jesus fuck, it's like an intervention episode when EEs have a simple merge conflict.
