> This is exactly the reason why I switched careers from audio tech to development. Funny seeing this posted here. I think the barrier to entry is even lower in development. While audio production requires at least some investment due to high hardware demands and expensive software/instruments, you can probably start learning development with the computer you already have and you'll have immediate access to a huge range of high quality development tools and in-depth documentation. Those are excellent conditions for newcomers and amateurs. The difference is that people are actually willing to pay for software development as opposed to music, which seems to be increasingly taken for granted and somewhat devalued.
