It's worked for every other industry that was displaced by technology, but This Time It's Different? The US was over 70% farm labor in the 1800s, where do you think those truck drivers came from?
Edit: also, one hardly needs to be a rockstar to make $60k/year as a coder. If you can write a coherent select in VBA you can make that.
- losteverything 10y agoSerious question. Would the 60k include 33 days off paid per year and very good benefits (25% employee 75% employet)?
- greedo 10y agoWhere do you get that it's worked in every other industry? Using the Industrial Revolution/Farming revolution is not even applicable since jobs shifted from one manual job to another. And again, you think a 50 year old truck driver, who hasn't done any schooling 32 years, is going to be able to do SQL statements. And find a job at that age. I'd love to think that, but the IT industry has shown huge levels of ageism, and isn't exactly overflowing with entry-level jobs.
