I suspect that most people who go for whatever field is apparently "hot" wind up not doing very well. I would imagine those who get into fields because they're just following what they know\have interest in have much better chances. They have a hope of finding and building something so cool it makes the new "hot" field.
Course, that was a huge generalization with tons of assumptions, so YMMV.
- unalone 18y agoYeah. My thought wasn't so much "go for what's hot without thinking" as it was, "if you have no clue what to do, it might be worth your checking out big topics, just in case something jumps out at you." It's not something that people who've already got a vision do, but I see it the way I'd see writing prompts: sometimes, trying to write in a particular style gives you ideas that you'd never have otherwise.
