Were you around in 2001 after the dotcom crash? It was really difficult to find work. I know a few web devs that never worked in the industry again.

- pkaye 7y agoIn 2000 I went back to college to get my MS degree. I remember in 2001 people were begging the college to admit them because they were laid off right around the admissions cutoff.
- anonymous5133 7y agoI graduated from high school in 2006 and was determined to study computer science when I went to college but by the time I had graduated I decided to just go with accounting because I had heard so many horror stories about how there were no jobs in tech anymore. I viewed accounting as something that might not pays much as a programmer but it would surely get me a job because every company needs accountants. Nowadays, being employed in accounting, I kinda regret it because my true passion was computer science.
