With CS/IT, there have been tens of thousands of layoffs every month (in the US alone) for nearly 3 years straight. Too few jobs with everyone having to compete with new grads and all of those hit by layoffs equals a shit situation all around. I'm hoping to pivot into something like bioinformatics which, for the moment, still looks potentially promising as a job prospect.
ive been hearing the cs problem and bio problem for the last 10years, in other forums. i first went to college board(forum) oh and they said cs and biotech isnt in demand and very low job prospects, i was about to say whats the point of taking this then. i think for bio research, i suspect they only want to keep the scientist level people and just get rid of everyone else.
