>ready quite privileged compared to those earning closer to minimum wage I really don't like this self loathing mentality on HN. I work really hard to keep up to date in IT, even after I'm off work. Sorry to burst your bubble but most people just go home from work and get high or drunk then watch 5hrs of TV. Thats the reason they can't work tech jobs. I didn't go to school for CS but I still make lots of money in tech because I want to and I keep myself up to date. Its not all poor single moms without any time or some other tragic story.
