As a 17 year old it's hard to make a good decision in what you should invest your time and money in, and we as a society aid them in making their bad decisions, it's not as if no one knew what they were doing. HN recently had an article for educators that basically said they had no idea how to prepare kids for the economy of the future, and if they don't know, how do you expect the kids to? I don't know about you guys, but I was interested in computers for their own sake rather than the cash, so it's not as if I had a crystal ball that software engineers were going to be rolling in money back in 2007. On top of that many tech communities basically look down on people only in tech for the money. The article mentions a guy who got a degree in economics with a minor in business - a pretty reasonable choice for someone who doesn't really understand exactly what industry wants but is interested in making money - and he basically got fucked and is driving a bus now. I don't fully agree with this article, but I don't think framing this as millenials' moral failing is the right one, even if it let's those of us in tech feel superior.
