I'm not sure what your point is.
I'm not much of an academic type myself. I was talking about careers: you're going to make a lot more money and have much more impact as a developer/software guy than as a tradesman.
I don't know of (m)any software developers working for plumbers.
- douche 11y agoThere's some other considerations that might come into play there: Do you take great satisfaction and pleasure in working with your hands and working on concrete projects? Do you want to live someplace outside the big-money tech bubbles? Maybe you don't care about impacting the world - you just want to make a nice living and hang out with your family. I'm sure there's others.
- morgante 11y agoI'm not saying that everyone should be a developer. Plenty of people are well-suited to a skilled trade if that's what they enjoy. What I was arguing against is this idea that someone becoming a plumber is the economically superior option.
