This is really cool! congrats!!
Thanks! It was a lot of work and anxiety, but I still feel like I figured out a cheat code. :D
You did. Demand for computer professionals is noticeably higher than the supply. It therefore is much easier to become a highly paid computer professional than a successful doctor/lawyer/teacher/writer/police officer/scientist/musician/real estate agent/salesperson/etc.
Unlike WoW and other MMORPGs, nothing in the real world requires different character classes to be balanced in leveling, power, and effort. Being a computer professional in the early 21st century is like playing the game on easy mode.
Well, yes -- I wouldn't have spent a bunch of time on a line of work that I didn't think would pan out.
But what I was getting at is the idea that the status quo is actually highly mutable.
