As a person with a media degree who wants to get into IT, this video actually encouraged me

I have a degree in math and the logical thinking helps me a lot in programming. So for me you are not telling the truth.

This guy is so good at coding that he decides to quit

cool. whoever watched this video imma just summarize this video for you..... join his online training for a career

This guy must have been sacked out of workplace because he did less coding.
@user-yi7op3hl1v Says:
This guy is the biggest fool I've ever listened to. Absolutely grifter! One minute hocking his crap course then in the next breath telling kids not to try and they won't make it. Everyone knows that success comes from effort. Can't believe I've just contributed to your YouTube revenue by watching this crap. I suppose you win in that respect but I won't watch another video.

TikTok might become more lucrative than the rest of FAANG but we still need engineers to maintain this ecosystem. I wouldn't say coding will be useless but it'll just become more and more competitive. A winner takes all landscape
@TechWithRonnie Says:
I live in New York and staff engineers make $1.2 M compensation($300k base and rest stock options). There is hope guys - keep learning.

If our world is run by basically memes (influencers, bitcoin, “entrepreneurs,” and drop shippers) I think our world will collapse with mere cringe

What's the difference between school and life? In school, we're given a lesson, and then a test. And in life, we're given a test, that teaches us a lesson.

@9:38 kid wants to only take one online course to become a developer...😂

I THINK electrical engineering is still a really good career to get into. I don't know though. I can't get into it now at 38 years old with two toddlers to take care of.

I have a high school Media degree and a university MIS degree 2003. Am I dangerous, or should I get a job.

Would you like to buy some pencil shavings? Makes great fill and mixes well with shredded documents. Who is Microsoft?
@thefamousmuslim Says:
This is so true. How can anyone be interested in a stem degree when immigrants will take over the job sector. Being born in America and the jobs will disappear
@OmidMahdawi-pg6wg Says:
Amm, yeah you are absolutely right. I don't see any reason to start out becoming a software engineer based on what you have said, but how about those who want to extract data, engineer it, and finally develop AI models? I have some ideas on jumping in AI and am a full-stack web developer. What do you think about AI? Wanna know that and if possible just make a video about that! Best, Omid❤❤❤

Hey, ex-Googler, Go and WIN Russia in a war without STEM :D Good Luck ))) You give bshit advise to a wide audience. Go wisit Ukraine & giva an advise how to win the war using influencers :)) LOL
@davidchung1697 Says:
I agree HOLLYWOOD" is #1. However, competition in the entertainment industry is fierce. This is why people select careers that involvethings that a society needs (e.g., being a doctor, a lawyer, a coder, etc.). Regarding your view that "coding is done" - I don't think it is done yet, mostly due to advanced in AI. News about the AI reminds me of the early 2000, when we were bombarded with prognostications about the Internet. It took us 20 years to realize what people envisioned about the Internet. It will be a while until we see the full ramifications of the AI.

What about math? A lot of engineers get jobs in business and finance due to the math they learned in college.

Okay so I'mma STEM major here, I really don't understand all the doom and gloom when it comes to stem.... You're talking about how all of these influencers on social media are living lives that are way better than everybody else, but I could have sworn in some of your videos you've said that their lives are fake. So which is it dude? I got a ton of respect for you, especially considering the schools you've gone to. You said you've reached the top of the STEM ladder, but I don't think you've ran a business yet? Maybe that's something that you can try? I'm pretty sure you'd be pretty damn good at it. Looks like you're the type of guy that gets bored very easily, but I can understand that considering how brilliant you are

The current ways of society will collaspe the moment Ai takes over every job. Earth was built on humans not robots. The only way i see Ai taking over every job successfully without a collaspe is if we change our ways with money and how everything revolves around money.
@alrxalw Says:
But CS is more than coding, isn’t it? If you want to learn things that you can apply to every day life, STEM is absolutely not the way to go. I thought that was obvious from the start. I decided to major in CS because that’s the career I want. I don’t want to be an actor or an influencer; I hate how toxic that community is. Since starting my major, I learned about data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, computer vision, quantitative development, quantum computing, scientific computing, computing education, bioinformatics, distributed computing. There’s so much more to CS than just coding, and I have to opportunity to learn more being in the major than not being in the major.

You just need to become manager in IT, if you are native speaker, you can just be PM, BA, scrum master and manage outsourced devs. Easy job, no cognitive load.

Failed if you got into STEM for the money
@tizianofassina2752 Says:
This is really a rough, US-centric and inaccurate analysis of STEM situation. There isn't an army of Indian clochard ready to steal all stem jobs. Maybe we are just understanding the 5-zeros salary opportunities for coders and IT specialists are diminishing. Maybe US is terrified by recession and the idea of a multipolar world economy. Furthermore forecasting future events is almost impossible and hypothesis about the future are usually strongly different from reality.  Perspective of a European citizen.

Actually plumbers are better as we still need to do plumbing. Once the code is built it can work forever. Robots hate going under your sink.

My gf probably makes more than 90 percent of people in stem careers and she doesn’t even have a bachelor’s degree.

As a 61 year old, ex Nokia, Philips hardware engineer, free-lance product developer and now code dabler - I tend to agree with TechLead! Coding is just a means to an end, and with the rise of AI, it is becoming something that those tools can do pretty well. I would not recommend spending too much time studying this stuff formally, because these days much of the necessary info to do this can be obtained for free online anyway. Just self-educate! Focus more on innovative products. Be entrepreneurial. Be inventive. Be creative. Think about what really adds value - i.e. how much other people want your stuff. Also consider how much they are willing to pay for it. With this mentality, code or anything else, becomes just one of the many things necessary to achieve your objectives, your goals. Business stuff and money are important. Yes, you do become a wage slave in the 9 - 5 job and it isn't much fun - you will be exploited. I escaped that in my early thirties! As for STEM education - well it is becoming only useful at high level to fewer and fewer enterprises. If you want to be a hardware engineer, particularly with consumer products, then move over to China where it is all happening! Forget Europe. if you want to be a coder, then there are many areas where this is needed, but it is becoming an oversaturated field with much competition, as it is just getting too easy now with AI and good free online resources available to get solutions.

I rather do what you were doing in Costa Rica. Coding is boring, bad for the eyes, the back, the wrist, and your inner voice the talks to you even while sitting in the porcelain seat. I like the programming housing projects, I bout spit my coffee. Just recently got out of the Marine Corps, served as a machine gunnner, and while half my battalion was high school grads, the other half were grads from Rice, Standford, Cornell, MIT, Ohio State, UCLA. Dumbfounded, I asked them what they were doing in the grunt units (infantry), most of their replies were, they wanted to serve, have a sense of urgency of this short life, tired of the rat race, but the majority was seeking to have fun, join a true fraternity (lol), and have a mission ahead of them. All men were seeking a purpose.

STEM degrees are about as useful as an abacus. Great for those with TBIs or who are under the age of 5
