The hole in your argument is that it's much easier to keep finding employment as a lawyer because law as a skill doesn't change dramatically and the more senior you get, the better. Developers skills diminish over time e.g. you're a .net programmer and now you have to learn Python to get a job.
- burritofanatic 11y agoYou do have a point. Learning new technologies may not be as dramatic as a shift though. I don't fully buy into the 80/20 rule, but a 5 year .net programmer would probably be proficient in Python in a matter days. OOP and CS fundamentals don't change (along with the basic principals of laws) between languages. You're also likely just dealing with business requirements and people. But, I guess we won't know for sure until all of us around here get old, or much older.
