I flew with #Etihad to Tokyo. The scheduled departure was 21:25. I got locked up on the plane for over 2 hours till departure.
I checked the past week flights timing and all were delayed over 2 hrs.
Why don't they just delay the departure ?? Extremely frustrating experience.

A CS professor at a mid-tier state university just sent me their internal placement data

Spring 2024: 71% placement rate. Average dropped to $78k
Fall 2024: 43% placement rate. Those who got offers averaged $61k
Spring 2025: 31% of graduates employed in software roles six months out
This semester? 19% placement rate and falling

The career fair last month had 12 companies show up. Half were MLMs and insurance sales
Students keep asking why they're learning data structures when the job postings all say "3+ years experience with LLM integration"
Professor told me the hardest part is the parent meetings
"My daughter took out $140k in loans for this degree and she's working at Starbucks"
Meanwhile the university is still running ads promising "94% job placement rates in high-growth tech careers"
The disconnect is crushing everyone involved
Faculty knows the industry has fundamentally shifted but the marketing department is still selling the 2019 dream
These kids mortgaged their futures for careers that evaporated while they were in class

Since Trump, I feel like the world is leaning more and more towards China and supporting China.
