I saw an article discussing the Great washout of the tech job market. Once an industry that presidents, billionaires, and other prominent people boasted as the pathway to success is no longer.

It speaks volumes when tech majors are struggling more than art history majors. I have come to wonder, has the software engineer the new aspiring "artist" or musician? You know those career paths that are highly unrealistic where people laugh when you tell them? Like "yeah, I want to be the next studio artist for Disney" or some shit like that.

Meanwhile, the middle class is being pulverized and destroyed. Once the beacon of prosperity of the "American Dream" is becoming less and less likely to obtain, especially for younger generations.

I grew up in a typical upper-middle-class family. The two-story family home in a mostly-white subdivision neighborhood with the community pool, attending top-notch schools, and riding in the family SUV. The baseball team, boy scouts, and my regular doctors visits became a common routine as a child. We were able to eat out at modest places after church. The pantry full of food. You know what I mean.

So the year is 2000, you've spent the last 5 years as the head coach of an NFL team. You have built your ideal team except for one position, the QB. This is the last year on your contract and your Owner and GM have decided to give you a blank check on going out and getting your perfect QB. You can pick anyone that played at least one snap during the 2000 regular season as your starting QB. Any injury, benching, or suspension that they experienced during that season is not going to happen if you pick them. However, how well they do that year is going to determine your future with the organization. So there is no point in picking up a rookie QB just because they go on to have a good career; but that year they totally suck. I've put the top 5 QBs from that year based on Yds/G and the Super Bowl winning QB in the poll. So who are you taking?

We are already hearing AI is already taking the white-collar workforce by storm, resulting is large-scale layoffs and hiring freezes.

Microsoft has released a study and found that web developers were among the top 40 list for being at-risk. Web application development is my talent and niche.

The question is, is anything besides blue-collar work worth pursuing at this time? I even question the safety and job security of a lot of healthcare professions to AI.

Fortunately for me, I am on Social Security Disability at the moment due to my inability to hold down stable work. I have held 25 jobs since age 15. I am 30. I feel I am even more at a disadvantage at this point due to my poor track record. I cannot risk my disability or Medicare.
