I recently graduated with a Computer Science degree, and let me tell you—it was not an easy journey. The constant projects, the never-ending math units, and the overwhelming assignments made it tough to keep up. I lost so many classmates along the way to "simpler" courses. But here I am, a graduate, still hoping to land a job soon.
And yet, I can’t catch a break. I have to keep revisiting everything I learned in school while also picking up new skills just to stay market-ready. If I go two days without touching some code—well, I’m cooked.
But enough about me. Let’s talk about something that really frustrates me—the outdated Computer Science curriculum in our universities. Many institutions are failing us by not updating their course material. Teaching obsolete methods and programming languages isn’t helping anyone. It’s creating a wave of graduates who are underprepared for the job market.
As AI continues to advance, junior programmers are being replaced because they simply aren’t skilled enough to compete. The gap between what universities teach and what the industry demands is widening, and we need to do something about it.
What do you think? How can we make it better?
