That's good for CS and CE related work. Too many people went there not because they liked programming or engineering but because they wanted to get rich fast.

Hopefully this means the clogged up job market will stop being the clown circus it is now.
- verisimi 1y agoGetting rich fast, and doing what you love in your spare time, rather than pretending you love your work, which no one does, sounds perfectly coherent to me.
- frizlab 1y agoI love my work personally.
- OutOfHere 1y agoNo, because they are not the people who love to do it in their spare time. They never do it in their spare time, because they don't love the activity that much.
- twalichiewicz 1y agoI've always found design to be deeply fulfilling work, not something I need to pretend to love.
- pjjpo 1y agoDo people actually get rich fast without loving their work, at least to a reasonable degree? Motivation is the most important requirement for productivity, not smarts (unnecessary for engineering where the main job is to understand tools to the fullest) nor even experience (though the ones that stay in the industry for a while generally also have more motivation). I've seen plenty of folks get managed out that fall in the unmotivated, unproductive pattern as they probably should be. Retiring early to pursue something different is a great goal, but I think that means liking your work enough to get there. And some luck maybe that someone shared the importance of investment which is often the missing piece.
