I wonder if many people who experience this make a switch or just leave the field entirely. I started in mainframe cobol around y2k via a financial services companies boot camp program. Switched to java and j2ee not long after. It was a pretty good gig for someone with bs in “field that no one hires for”. The thing that prompted me to jump was the company starting an offshoring initiative. I left, retrained myself, and have a career for 15 years after most onshore devs at that company were laid off long ago.
