I graduated university and feel i still dont know shit about computer science. Like sure i consider my self to be a good developer and all that but whats the point of calling yourself a computer scientist if you cant build a robot and program some AI into it.

    Give yourself some time ! There are so many things to learn, you'll never be finished. And if you're not happy with you current knowledge, just learn !

    I know the feeling, and it's sometime overwhelming.

    AI... Smart robots dosent require ML.
    Stop putting ML everywhere it is unrelaible. CS is about problem solving not letting machine doing it for you.

    i know you cant learn everything in school there is simply too much to learn. The shitty thing is when you come back from work you’d be beat and too tired to read a book or watch a lecture about something so you can learn more. Either make money and remain ignorant or dedicate yourself but drown in poverty

    Your last sentence is not a job for computer scientist. That is exactly why mechatronic engineers exist.

    Your jobs as a computer scientist are mainly to improve algorithms, maximize efficiency of hardware while minimizing the cost.

    Also building the hardware is electronic engineers job. Yours is to improve it.

    @illegaldisease computer science is the mother of all these branching fields like mechatronics so i’d like to think i can be just as involved in them as i want to. i am interested in many things that you cannot simply group them under one title, i like graphics programming, game development. But i also like server side programming. And i am also interested in IoT and would like to learn more about robotics. So i cant simply tell myself oh thats beyond my major lets just forget about it. Coz really what u majored in college amounts to nothing its what you push yourself to achieve and learn that matters. And i wish i could quit my job just so i can learn so many things and it would still never be enough.

    @AymanH Computer science is not mother of all these branches. Electronics is.

    I know your dilemma, me too is interested in everything. But it is better at being expert in less field than knowing more fields. For example, knowing how 25+ different programming language work don't worth shit if you don't know at least one of them fully.

    That is why i go for JavaScript to tackle most of them at once. Server side, UI/UX, both front and backend, etc. We should never stop learning. Pick one you love most and fiddle with it.
