    Me @22: Boy, IT work sure looks fun and I love computers already so let me take out some student loans to become a cybersecurity specialist!

    Me @29: Retail is fine too.

        We’re from a different era my dude. These days it’s all analysts, architects and data scientist.

        Who can’t do jack shit without guys like you.

          Except now we have to find jobs through connections because we aren’t getting past HR filters.

          Architects where I work don’t have degrees, they’re programmers who have shown they understand a significant chunk of our enormous system (government IT)

          Analysts are a mixed bag. Some have relevant education, others have relevant experience

          Data scientists seem to all be appropriately degreed
