Ask HN：现在还会去读计算机科学学位吗？
9 分•作者: reilly3000•9 个月前
我希望听取社区的反馈。我的儿子计划从一所不错的州立大学获得计算机科学的四年制学位，但他现在犹豫了。他考虑了大约 13 万美元的费用，以及四年不工作的时间，对比之下，他也在考虑找工作并逐步积累简历。他是一位优秀的年轻开发者，热爱 C++，并且在青少年时期出于兴趣学习了 Java、Web 开发和 EDA。他编写过多种语言和玩具编译器，为自己的游戏设备订购过 PCB，并且在六年级时就构建了一个社交网络。他期待更高阶的课程，但又害怕入门课程。他获得学位的动机是希望在就业市场上更具竞争力，同时也为了更好地理解基础知识。随着人工智能使得入门级编程工作变得稀缺，投入时间和金钱真的有意义吗？如果不是，那么进入编程行业的哪些途径会是一个不错的选择？欢迎大家提出任何建议。

I’m looking for feedback from the community. My son made a plan to get a 4 year degree from a decent state university in computer science but is having second thoughts. He is looking at ~$130K in costs and 4 years of not working vs trying to find work and build a resume organically. He’s a fine young developer who loves C++ and learned Java, web dev, and EDA in his teen years for fun. His written several languages and toy compilers, ordered PCBs for his own gaming device, and built a social network in the 6th grade. He’s looking forward to higher level coursework but dreading the intro classes. His motivation for getting a degree was to be marketable to employers, but also to gain a better understanding of fundamentals. With AI making entry level programming jobs scarce, does it really make sense to invest the time and money? If not, what sort of pathway into a programming career would be a good alternative? Any and all advice appreciated.
