Reason being:
1) it's a brain dead industry that does not encourage creativity.
2) Very few private sector company wants to hire ex-CS staff.
3) It serve as a retirement house for the laidback people, don't expect to meet future millionaires in CS.
True, but we must also look at the big picture and compare average, not just look at extremes like millionaire/billionaire etc.

1) Current CS starting for good deg is about 4k+. Pte sector unless mgt program usually start at 3k.

2) CS goes on 16-18 months total package a year and very stable every year unless major economic crisis. Private sector other than banks typical annual package around 15 months. It can easily drop to 12-13 months when company not doing well.

3) CS more or less guaranteed will reach at least AD or DD by 50 years old with many good performers easily exceeding 300k p.a. Private likely you get retrenched, cannot find job and end up drive taxi (if lucky).

Of course you can argue private sector has potential to pay few million every year if you are good, can be tycoon CEO if you start business etc., but big picture is those with good degrees join CS generally do much better than private sector.
