Computer science graduates faced very cyclical job markets in recent decades. The cycles ranged from raging hot in the late 1990s to career-destroying in the early 2000s, back to rather warm today.

Civil engineering and architecture had their boom in the early 2000s, followed by the bust of the late 2000s until now.

College students starting as freshmen now should be aware that the job markets could be significantly different four years from now when they graduate.
