The employment prospects of computer majors studying in the United States are broad. According to the US "Overseas Chinese News" report, the number of Chinese students studying in the United States is increasing year by year, but the employment situation after graduation is getting more and more sluggish. It is difficult for international students to compete with native American graduates in terms of language and culture. Coupled with the constraints of visa status and other factors, the topic of difficulty in finding employment for international students seems to have become the norm.

In the current employment trend, the prospects of various majors are very different. Although most majors are difficult to find jobs in the United States, the computer major has maintained a good employment momentum, and has also been favored by Chinese students.

Wu Chen is an international student from mainland China. He graduated from Columbia University with a major in electronic engineering at the end of 2012. After that, he found a job and ran into obstacles. With the rise of the mobile Internet, the talent gap in the computer and Internet industry is getting bigger and bigger. Wu Chen saw that almost all the students majoring in computer could find a better job in a short period of time, but he had "nothing to gain", so he came up with the idea of ​​changing his major. He told reporters that for more than half a year, he has learned computer software programming by himself by looking for information on the Internet and asking his classmates in the school. After re-submitting my resume, I finally found a programming job in an IT company.
