Because one group is telling you the reality of the situation and the other group is trying to sell you on a career. You realize Microsoft and Google are a huge driving force behind lowering wages for programming, right?

they have a weird obsession with it because Microsoft and Google hired an army of shills to convince every other young person they needed to be a programmer so they could devalue the industry. my dad made more as a programmer in the 90s early 2000s than most people do today (outside of SF).

you and literally every other anon on 4chan wants to be a computer programmer

You are 100% correct anon, they are oversaturated. All of them. Do you know why? Because people keep getting their employment devalued, and this pushes people into a new industry, until that that industry also becomes devalued.

Economics 101 - the greater the supply, the lower the wage

If I were to be 18 right now, I would go into Civil Engineering, Air Traffic Control, welding, Electrical Engineering, Cyber Security, Home Inspection, or some type of trades in a rural area because your scarcity will make you more valuable while all the other youngfags run off to wagecuck in the cities. But generally speaking - the days of making a fat salary are gone for young people. We are moving into an older style of economics where there is the Upper Class (controlled through families) and the Lower Class. Middle Class is going bye-bye. Better start your own business with whatever precious few shekels you can earn.
