I love my job and can’t picture myself in another career but it does suck after being told that this field was the most stable career
51 0 ReplyWho told you that? AFAIK that was definitely never true about computer tech jobs.
27 0 ReplyCan vouch, everyone told me growing up that computer jobs were a safe and stable choice because "everyone needs computers."
49 0 ReplyThat may be true with IT departments but maybe not as necessarily for developers
29 0 ReplyI agree, but when most of my "elders" growing up believed computers to be this magical voodoo money printer box that just happens to go on facebook, It's not suprising they believed any job relating to a computer was safe and stable.
6 0 ReplyIt’s true to an extent. It largely depends on what exactly you do with the compiuters. Devs are the easiest to layoff because there are a ton of them and a lot of fresh graduates are programmers. If you’re in a more specialized field in tech, you have pretty good job security.

IT support by staff like sysadmins can hardly be replaced in the near future.
I don't see AI being able to setup a whole environment itself.Creative jobs on the other hand...
6 0 ReplyDevelopers are often the ones setting up the environments now via things like Terraform. IT is still needed for on-prem work though.
3 0 ReplyThat's what cloud services are for.
3 0 ReplyAnd who sets up those? If sysadmin jobs are killed for on premise at companies at the very least they will be needed for datacenter work.

It's definitely a good choice. And there will always be jobs. But job security is pretty minimal.

I think it's true for the career rather than the job, because it's not hard to find another job that is still paid way better than the average career.
