You are a college prep student at Pocahontas County High School. You have been told by your principal that the math program needs to be cut to schedule a hospitality class. Explain the advantages of a college degree in Computer Science as opposed to being a waiter in a restaurant.
Mr./Ms. Principal,
I understand the pressure to create a well-rounded curriculum, but I'm here to advocate for keeping the math program, especially considering the potential growth in computer science (CS) careers. Here's why a CS degree could be much more beneficial to our future than a hospitality course:
Future-Proof Careers: The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a 24% growth in software development jobs by 2026, way faster than average [source: computer science jobs growth]. That means high demand and potentially good salaries for CS graduates. Restaurant jobs, while important, might be automated or outsourced in the future.
Broader Opportunities: A CS degree isn't just about coding. It teaches problem-solving, critical thinking, and analytical skills that are valuable in almost any field. These skills can open doors to careers in areas like cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, or even video game design – all high-growth fields.
Earning Potential: Let's be honest, waiters rely on tips, and wages can be unpredictable. Computer science graduates, on the other hand, can command an average salary of $93,000 according to Payscale [source: computer science salary]. This financial security can make a huge difference in our lives.
Building the Future: We live in a world driven by technology. A strong math foundation, which the CS program builds on, is key to understanding and potentially shaping that future. We could be the ones creating the next big apps or software that change the world.
I know hospitality is important, but the skills from the math program and a CS degree can open so many more doors for us in the long run. Perhaps we can find a way to offer both by looking for creative solutions or seeking community support for the programs.
Thank you for considering our future.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Student at Pocahontas County High School
