What lie? Some people have tech jobs. If I tell you plumbing is a good industry to get into why would you infer a job is guaranteed?

  If you say it? I wouldn't infer that. If the president, media, teachers, influencers, the richest people on the planet, and my parents say it? I probably would. I think it's disingenuous to imply this wasn't strongly recommended as the ideal way to get a high paying job straight out of college that only improves over time.

    Even the way you've phrased it, nothing says a job is guaranteed. The phrases "software engineering careers are currently _the best_ in terms of ROI" and "an aspiring software engineer is not guaranteed to succeed" could currently be simultaneously true.

      You’re right, but the topic was whether or not it’s implied, and it pretty clearly is.

    Not to mention the (arguably almost spiteful) campaigns to tell professionals in other fields to "learn to code" if they lose their job, as though it's a fit for everyone.

      How is it spiteful to offer an alternative?

    >only improves over time. Where is this inferred?
