About 25 years ago I saw this (the first dotcom boom). I was a TA with office hours and had a significant number of people outright say “just give me the answer” when I would try to explain something they didn’t understand.
I recall a lounge discussion where someone switched majors away from CompSci towards communications, but said they just planned to get “a” bachelor’s degree and then some easy certification to become a programmer, because CompSci was too hard and they could get a payday without it.
