Hi all, this semester I will be graduating with a B.S. in CS. As we all know, the job market is god awful, and even with internship experience I have had no luck in finding a job so far. I know it’s still sort of early, but I truly feel like it’s not going to get much better. I could finish a stats degree in two semesters if I were to stay an extra year. I think this would be good because my primary interests are in data science and machine learning (which is quite saturated too, I know). I was planning on doing an online masters in C.S. (spec in ML) but that would take at least 2.5 years for me to do, of which I don’t want to be unemployed for. I have a 3.4 GPA, and would retake a course I got a D+ in to boost me to a 3.5 (that + the courses I’m taking this semester, of which I should get 4 As and maybe one B). I’d also be open to any careers that a stats degree opens me up to. I’m not sure if the new grad market is much better there or not, but I figured having a degree in both CS and stats would make me a more ideal candidate. I was just hoping to gain some perspective and advice from you all. Thanks. (I tried posting this in r/statistics but it was removed because I didn’t add a flair, even though there is no option to add one lol.
