I don't remember if anyone in particular gave me this advice, but it was definitely a prevailing notion around 2002 and it's probably the biggest reason I didn't study computer science in university. I didn't give up on technology entirely, but studied nanotech instead because I thought that was the next big thing and couldn't be outsourced so easily. Now that's only useful in a few huge companies or universities and I wish I had been programming all this time so I could do my own cool projects without millions of dollars.
