This was more aimed toward the CS majors who graduated, but didn't have the skills necessary to land a programming job. It wasn't written with the intention of calling out all CS majors. The CS majors in my class don't know anything about their trade, which saddens me because they should want to know it. When asked "why" they were majoring in CS (first day of class), most of them said because they heard it paid well. I just find it inspiring that I met people who learned this all on their own.

Hiring a philosopher was an idea that I got from @mattt. He suggested majoring in Philosophy, if I wasn't happy with the CS curriculum. That if you set your mind to it, you can learn it anyways. With so many free books out there, it's almost scary what you can learn today.

For those wanting to know, I attend Austin Community College.
