It's more to do with existentialist crisis of computer science education, not status or pay for computer science grads.

Computing has become a part of every major industry and computer science by itself is closer to applied math and such fields, valuable but by itself not very useful.

Most professionals in most industries need to know quite a bit of computing skills to be effective.

> existentialist crisis of computer science education

Exactly what I've been facing for the past few months. I graduated as a CS Major last year, and I've already started doubting it.

No clue how to deal with it
