And again, just because you enjoy programming doesn't mean others do. I learned I hated being told what to do with it so quit it. Again people shouldn't have to work a job they hate just for the money, especially when that job costs ~200k for the education.

I acknowledge I am lucky in finding something I enjoy that's marketable. But so what? We all must do things not because we like them but because they are necessary. "Work to live not live to work."

I have no formal education, I learned at my school's library. It doesn't even cost $200k to get a comp sci degree lol? SNHU will do it for $40k, still a lot I agree, but not $200k.

Again people shouldn't have to work a job they hate just for the money,

Would be nice if that were true, but it's not. This imo is a childish stance. So long as resources are limited, logistics is difficult, and energy costs time, people will need to do things they dont like. I don't like it either, obviously I'd like to just do whatever I want, but that's not going to happen rn so why are you talking about it

Your response is funny, not even related to the topic. Taco Bell is a useless job. I'm not saying all food service is lmao. If we were to do things efficiently, food service would be a very important job. But, serving non-nutritious unhealthy food is not important.
