   Don't let anybody tell you tech is an "in demand" field.

   It's not. This is a lie. You are being lied to.

   Here's reality: I'm an IT professional, top performer everywhere I've been. I've submitted over 3,000 resumes over the past 4 years. In that amount of time, I have received 0 (zero) callbacks.

   Tech is not an "in demand" field. There is no demand. You are being lied to.

   And if you're wasting money on a *degree* in this barren wasteland, oh man are you in for a rude awakening.

     Let me make this clear: If you're considering a "career" in tech, please fuck off. We're full.

     Tech jobs are now exclusively the domain of unqualified individuals for the purpose of padding certain types of statistics. This leaves the people with actual skill to turn to cybercrime to make ends meet. #getfedihired
