This is very true, i think the guy you're responding to is thinking more in terms of when there are more jobs then devs, not the other way around. Even if that becomes the case, since this stuff goes though phases, a lot of college students or kids right out of high school would still jump at the chance to gain this sort of experience, alongside people like you, who just want their needs taken care of, a bit of spending money, and a job where they can focus on what they enjoy without too much demanding or stress. Same for older people with a lot of expertise, but who again want something less demanding but still enough to support them until they retire, or give them a purpose after they do so. Like my dad, he's a network engineer, in a job like I described. He and my mom are a little over retirement age and plan to retire soon, but he's not one to just sit around the house all day. I think that's one reason he keeps saying he'll retire in 2 - 3 years, but says that year after year.
