CS literally seems so oversaturated, and every tech worker I ever talk to is like yeah bro good luck you're competition is 10 year experience pro coders.
I actually like coding, but I can see that it's a washed out career path, I still don't know what the fuck I want to go to uni for I'm running out of time I wanted it to be CS but literally everyone around me fudded me out of it now I'm 2 years out from academia with fuck all to show besides a shitty part time retail job.

People say that about any new industry. The world is only going to become more and more digital.
>good luck you're competition is 10 year experience pro coders.
Again, same as any industry. There will always be businesses willing to give new people a chance since they cost less.
