Not to mention that by being a developer, I started earning money in my early 20's, without hefty university debt. Less risk (plenty people study for the bar and fail) and upfront costs. There's also less chance of getting a casua

It's not just pedantics. I live in the UK, and some people who speak something between Received Pronunciation and the BBC accent also think they have no accent. People can't hear their own accents and presume they don't have
