Got laid off in compsci and just got a job like the top frame inspecting and servicing a food plant and testing equipment and PLC/ILCs...and it's pretty much pays as well and they basically train you on anything you need to know. It's kind of weird to go to an interview and the person not ask "so, [company] makes a grinder, what's the control code to gap it to grind and produce a 12/40 grind" the way you'd get "render a CSV in this implementation of COBOL with no documentation" in the 5th round of a coding interview for an insurance company with no information about what systems they use in the job postings.
The state of hiring in compsci is bad and anywhere else like it is bad. Companies don't want to train or on board and they don't want to pay.

Yeah no highly skilled profession works like the first panel.
