FAQ
Is CS still worth it in 2026?
Yes — saturated relative to 2021 but still strong. Solid portfolio and projects matter more now than GPA.
CS or data science?
CS more flexible; data science narrower with more stats focus. Most data science roles require CS-level coding.
Should I go to grad school?
Only if research-focused. Most industry roles don't require it; some (ML research) do.
