Is Computer Science Still Worth It? My Warning to Students & Parents

Thinking about a computer science, IT or AI degree? In this video, I share why I’m urging students and parents to rethink that decision—and the exception I make for exceptionally strong students. I discuss AI coding tools, the alternatives I would consider, professional certifications such as CPA and CFA, the pace of curriculum changes, and my advice for students planning a master’s or MBA. I also explain why I think business knowledge, practical skills and the ability to create value matter when choosing a degree.
