    I see you’re getting downvotes, but these same CS people told lots of other careers this very thing not even a handful of years ago.

    I’ve had multiple CS peeps tell me this as I was starting my entertainment career.

      People told you “Did they not think to develop a practical skill in case this fad died” a handful of years ago?

      I call bullshit — that sentence doesn’t even make sense.

        Yeah dude. Tech people have literally told other career paths to study CS since I was in college, for like 15 years now.

        Shoes on the other foot now.

          Those are two completely different sentences.

          And I’m not sure why the shoe is on the other foot. The metaphor doesn’t make sense. You’re saying that people who want a stable career should go into entertainment?
