I just want to make it clear that I’m not assigning some kind of moral superiority to my financial situation and the amount that the economy values my labor per hour.

I don’t make the rules for how much each profession is able to make in compensation.

The world will always need nurses, but that doesn’t mean that it’s a fantastic career to get into if you have a neutral career preference and your primary consideration is university tuition ROI, expected compensation, work schedule, and day-to-day physical exertion.

My point isn’t to debate the virtues of each career, I am intending to stick to objective aspects of them.

In that sense, telling today’s kids that there’s no future in tech careers just because there’s a short term hiring slump is extremely premature. I certainly wouldn’t tell a kid who is passionate about tech to avoid the field just because the unemployment rate is currently 7%.
