Honest.

Finance people are way better off than the rest. Everyone bear the risk of being layoff - but Finance people are paid the best during good ok days. It is a matter of whether they save up or not.

If I born/start over again, I die die will not go into computer science. I will go into investment /finance related job. A few real good years there is already better than entire IT career, unless you found google or instagram.

PS: after 20 years in IT, with a MSC in IT, now can't find job, driving taxi...sigh
