MabankWith evolving technologies, would it be recommended that I dual - major or at least minor in programming to better incorporate technologies in my future career as an architect?
Hello, I'm a first year architecture student in UC Berkeley. I've wondering about the developing models of creation and planning and how that will affect my future in the field. I wonder how will the future of planning & drafting change. About how will we incorporate developing models of technology. Will there be incorporations of Virtual Reality in the creation of spaces? Will AI be used as a tool for creation? If we are headed towards this model of innovation would any professionals in the architecture field recommend that I dual-major or at least minor in programming? Are there any professionals out there that I could get in contact with who have current work experience in the field and could help me out in making my decision? Thank you!

Carrier MillsAs someone interested in pursuing a career in cyber-security, I'm curious about what daily work actually looks like. Do cyber-security professionals typically work alone or as part of a team How are tasks usually assigned, do they involve long-term projects that last for months, or are there more short-term, fast-paced assignments?

I'm a senior in high school and planning to major in computer science or cybersecurity in college. I really enjoy math-related classes like Pre-Calculus, Algebra, and Robotics, and I’m good with technology. I also like programming, building robots, and playing video games in my free time.

PortlandIs the ROI of a college eduction plummeting because of AI, outsourcing, and sky-high debt?
We don’t know the ceiling on artificial intelligence. Are we bottle-necked 1x, 2x, or 50+x from here? How long until we reach AGI? People go into six figures debt for degrees, including in traditionally high ROI fields like engineering, and still struggle to land a job. If things keeps scaling like this, we’ll have shift to UBI. At the very least, we may be breaking away from STEM dominance (sorry to say as someone who feels like they’re only good at learning science and math). I think different skills will becoming more valuable, and they’ll be hands-on trades and skills not taught in schools. If you were college-aged at this time, would you go?

How is the market for Computer Science, is it really that bad as it seems by media?
