That's exactly the opposite of what happens to most graduates with specialized degrees.

They end up having to explain their degrees, which is generally not a good thing. It happens all the time with engineering. In the job market a degree in mechanical engineering is in general worth more than one in robotics.

You also run the risk of graduating into another AI winter, or just deciding you hate AI, and then you really have to try hard to explain that your degree is really just a CS degree.

Imagine graduating now with an undergrad in big data--that sounded like a good idea 5 years ago.
