Son graduates in May and has already accepted a job at firm where he’s interned the last two summers.
This is the way. We definitely coach our kids to make as many business connections as they can while still in school. "It's not what you know, it's who you know" is the God's honest truth in many fields.

shite, don't tell me that. My son has about a year and a half left to graduate in the same field.
There are plenty of CE jobs out there.

Baby cousin graduated with a comp science degree from ULL a year ago. He has an IT help desk job at a hospital. Has applied to hundreds of jobs and has gotten one interview that seemed interested. I told he may have to ride it out with the help desk job for another year or two. If that doesn't work, he might start looking at some other areas. He's open to moving, has applied to positions across the country.
Unfortunately this is becoming the new normal. They go to college for 4 or 5 years, spend ungodly amounts of money and end up in the same place the kid that didn't even look at college started.

More likely is computer science majors who learn AI are going to crush it.
This is the obvious truth for anyone that actually works in technology.

Well, at least he's learning something about computers now. Comp Science is not what everyone makes it out to be. Coding a fibonnacci generator in Rust doesn't tell you to change default passwords or check if a switch has power to it. A CS degree generally tells me you don't know shite about how computers work.
Tell him to get an A+ and Security+ (both CompTIA) while he's working there at least. Study for a CCNA and maybe he will get to install DSL for a while before moving into an eventual real job.
