It's even worse now. Many juniors can barely get in the industry, let alone for a living remotely close to that a few decades ago (in many places even just a decade-half a decade ago). Tech requirements have grown to ridiculous proportions with many companies unwilling to teach, or trying to profit off the unwillingness of others to teach, at the cost of the potential hire. Meanwhile, corporations haven't really gotten less stressful over time. The improvements in tooling haven't necessary resulted in easier jobs as much as more requirements piled on top. This doesn't mean IT is worse than most other fields, but it sure hasn't gotten any better given the problems most younger generations run into today.
