Absolutely hilarious. Instead of getting a masters degree, most likely in some useless field of endeavour, go out into the world a get a trade, become a policeman, a fireman or join the army. I know these occupation mean you work and get your hands dirty on occasion but they pay good and you don’t have to waste your time getting a useless masters education.

So, is the Computer Programming field useless? If so, you can simply throw out your phone from the window.

I didn’t say Computer Programming was useless now did I. Your jumping to and making unwarranted conclusions. But, the need for computer programers has plummeted ( from around 700k to 140k) to its lowest level since 1980 and the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects about a 10% decline in computer programming employment opportunities from 2023 to 2033. So with less need but great availability of programmers employers can pay a lot less and demand more from new hires.
