I've been saying that the market is oversaturated for YEARS now but this just enrages tech bros into insulting me personally. It's very strange.

I always tell me CS/CE/Info students that they should focus on non profits, government agencies, etc. where at least employment will be stable.

I was going to study computer science. Instead I got a general AA and got a helpdesk job. Then A+ and a better job and a Net+ and an even better job and I'm not well off by any means but my family has a roof over our heads and food on the table and what's more I am still employed and don't have student loans so it's looking more and more like that's the right call and the best way to get into tech.

Where I am and due to its greater practicality, nursing is more popular as a college course than compsci.

I once started as compsci, but instead got a job fixing PCs. Also self-learned basic carpentry and plumbing. Looking at raising livestock in the near future.

I was laid off from my charger oem. Now I work at a grocery store till I find a new job. Needed the cheap insurance plus its union. This won’t last for long.

I'm glad I never took it. Been employed in the field for thirty years.
