    The Great CS Career Meltdown, brought to life by Avonetics.com: They Promised Us Rockets, We Got Printers.

    You aced data structures, dreamed of building the next AI revolution, and got a degree that promised a six-figure ticket to the future. So why are you spending your Tuesday fighting with a print driver or debugging an HTML email from 1998? Dive deep into the explosive Avonetics threads where the brightest minds in tech confess the soul-crushing reality of their high-paying jobs. This isn't just about hating a few boring tasks; it's a movement questioning the massive chasm between the promise of a CS career and the mundane, infuriating truth. From wrestling with archaic Excel workbooks to being the unofficial IT support for the entire office, programmers are venting. They're questioning why they bothered learning complex sorting algorithms when their biggest daily challenge is a spreadsheet macro that refuses to cooperate. They're asking if the degree was worth it when 'innovation' means getting a table to center correctly in an email. This is the unfiltered, raw conversation about job satisfaction, the value of a high-powered degree, and the quiet desperation brewing behind the glowing monitor screens. Is this burnout? Is it a bait-and-switch by the industry? Or is this just the price of admission? The community on Avonetics is tearing the CS dream apart, and the answers will blow your mind.
