I can’t wait for the world with no doctors, engineers, plumbers and genuine work people. The beautiful world filled with only media influencers, crypto investors and drop shippers.
@zazedx
Thank you Techlead for gatekeeping IT from newcomers and protecting our jobs.
@lfarrdev
TechLead doing us a favor by keeping more people out of coding (therefore, less competition)

Tech lead: why you should quit coding Also tech lead: why you should buy my coding course
@james-cf4mw
this guy is becoming the andrew tate of code trying to break you out of the code matrix by making you a code influencer

if everyone was a celebrity, no one would be a celebrity.

I'm a software engineer. The UPS guy who drops off my packages now makes more money than me.
@deepblackoutlaw9640
Jumping into YouTube, selling coding courses? Way cooler than dealing with straight-up coding these days.
@TomNook.
He is right. AI, eastern Europe, south and east Asia have hordes of very talented, hard working and low paid graduates than STEM in the West.
@Yegoros
You forget to say that becoming an actor or media person requires sometimes more luck and hard work than getting STEM degree. Take a look at those people living in LA near Holywood dreaming about profession of actor and not getting it in a lifetime. From the other hand you have quite straight way of obtaining STEM degree where you know that everything is in your hands. Of course you won't get all those money like in media but you will be surely above middle class.
@dwaynezilla
The moral of this story is to find a way to make money doing what you like and what you're good at, because in every sector the best people are the ones who like it and are good at it. Dredging through a STEM degree is just setting you up for more dredging in your career.

The sad truth is that we built enough. It's like if you stand in the middle of New York and want to build a city. You can't - we already have a city. If you came 100 years before, you may had an opportunity. But now, it's too late. And unlike a city, which can only house 1 to 1 ratio of people and infrastructure, 1 website and 1 app and host the entire world. We already built the low hanging fruit, what is left now are just niche which only few can live off.
@thedownwardmachine
I went to Berkeley and studied EECS (computer engineering, basically). It didn’t teach me how to code in the industry, instead it taught me how computers work, the fundamentals of science and engineering, and most importantly how to learn. You don’t NEED a STEM degree to code, but for most people, you limit your growth potential if you don’t give yourself a proper foundation.
@alberteinstein1015
If TechLead quit coding, what does he do for a living, make YouTube videos about coding instead? Seems like coding still has value for him then.
@bithon5242
Being STEM oriented was a natural extension of my education journey and therefore I could not see myself getting any other degree. It wasn’t even a struggle for me to get my degree because I was always curious about math, physics and CS. So yeah, if you are naturally inclined towards sciences you should definitely pursue a STEM degree.
@vikasbedi82
Thanks you TechLead for keeping me depressed.
@alcoyot
Being a successful media star or influence is not in your control. It’s based on factors completely outside you control and requires a lot of luck, it’s a lot less work to just play the lottery, if your whole plan is to just roll some dice and see if you can get really lucky. Also as a plumber you can charge people 300/hr, and that’s only going to get worse as the last boomer plumbers retire. Nobody of our generation wanted to become plumbers and jobs like that, and now there’s a huge shortage. So being a tradesmen isn’t like this terrible thing either. You’re not gonna be a movie star, trust me. Better to not waste any time on that. I wasted my whole 20s trying to be a musician. I would have been much better off not being so insecure that I needed some kind of special status to be cool and get girls, and just focus on a career that’s actually in demand. And if you want status, listen to your Asian parents and become a doctor.
@scuttler2006
A STEM degree is much better than most. But like anything college needs a shakeup
