Software dev? I'd say maybe 1 in 3 if I'm being generous. It is what it is.
people got bills to pay & mouths to feed.
that's like saying to people heading to gold mines - leave cz we know you're here to make money. you never cared about gold.
Imagine you are a person who likes rocks. A geologist if you will. You work for passion but the field is dominated by people who just want to mine gold.
I mean, the greedy ones who desire money like it's the only thing they can eat and hoard.
But knowing something fundamental like plumbing or carpentry or electrical as a primary skill seems prudent.
