The rapid development of mobile internet and artificial intelligence has made computer science the top income generator and among the most fruitful college degrees for employment in China, a recent report said
For those with a bachelor's degree in computer science, the employment rate was 93.9% in 2016 - slightly trailing electrical engineering's 95.5%, according to a report published by MyCOS, a company specializing in higher education data analytics
On average, graduates with a bachelor's degree in computer science made 5,452 yuan a month 6 months after graduating, more than 800 yuan more than finance graduates, who were in second place
Computer science majors are also most satisfied with their jobs, with about 75% of graduates saying they felt satisfied 6 months after graduating, the report said
Chen Yu, vice-president of the China Association for Employment Promotion, said the high employment rate and income for computer science majors mirrors the development of mobile internet and artificial intelligence in China
China is now entering an era of mobile internet and artificial intelligence, which are both related to computer science. This has triggered high demand for talent with computer knowledge, especially those with programming expertise, Chen said
