It seems like the entire market just hyper prioritizes software to the point where everyone has realistic aspirations of make 200k TC by the time they are 24. At which point I am confused as to why no-one can buy a house but still. Are there any historical precedents to this overwhelming advantage in one specific type of intellectual field? I don't want to be one but it feels like I should just give in an flip over because there is not a meaningfully good way to make money in any other field. Even the medical world is hard capped and you don't get that kind of good money until after 12-15 years of education. What's the point of studying or being interested in anything else if the market is swayed and controlled by one subsect for the rest of your adult life.

yeah software development just died, literally -250k jobs in 1 year in the US alone
couple that with competing against endless hordes of unwashed H1B visas and it is no safe bet. lots of people get decent CS degrees and never end up as a dev

Nursing (ER, radiology, anesthesia) pays same rates on avg with less skill and more stress/bullshit.

IT-tangential management can pay same with better avenues to director

Furthermore 200k at 25, 400k at 30 are a small percentage of fairly elite devs, even if they do make videos about how they don't do shit.

Medical is far more stable.

PA seems like you could split the difference and hedge your bets
Compsci with a bio or Chen minor
Make half what a doctor does for 2 year’s professional schooling

I feel like if I could go back in time a comp sci minor would be something I would try to do. Even though I don't like it, some of the skills are useful (I do now do some coding ironically) and it would have been easiest to learn it during undergrad when I was 100% in school. What do I know, I am not in compsci making 250k a year and working 6 hour weeks
