When I saw a similar article posted previously there was mention that "colleges and boot camps need to level up students faster" the implication there being they want students to graduate into senior positions (I'm not in the field so I have no idea how possible that even is)
What's infuriating about this position is that it becomes the new "entry level" with entry level pay... Higher skilled, better trained, supposed to be more valuable but will be getting paid less because AI kneecapped them... The future looks more disgusting every day
I feel like the only way this is possible is some terrible co-op between businesses and colleges that, instead of colleges educating on basics and fundamentals, theyve basically turned university into the on-the-job training you would get as an entry level employee. But now, youre paying for it instead of being paid for it.
That already happens, it’s called “Unpaid Internship with College Credit”.
Now imagine that for 4+ years instead of semester at a time.
