<p>Food for thought for CS major from the CEO of code.org and amazing opportunities.
<p>
For young people: it teaches you how to think, it unlocks creativity, and builds confidence. It’s an amazing feeling for a young boy or girl to realize, “If I don’t like something, I can change it. If I wish I had something, I can create it.” This sense of empowerment is valuable no matter what path you choose in life. (And of course, if you choose to pursue Computer Science more seriously,** it unlocks amazing career opportunities**.)</p>
<p>The jobs: average salary $80k in the US (much higher than the average!), and many places offer starting salaries in the $100k - $120k range if you’re super good. Anywhere from webmaster at a small local company,** all the way through software engineer at the next Facebook or Dropbox where you could become a millionaire right out of college**.
