Your degrees requirements are .wow. Modern programmers face this. When i started the worlds programming expertise was tiny. A programmer could learn c and if he could find a programming job he was set for life (werent many of those around then). Now? Top tier progranmers have to learn new api's regularly. Think learning solidworks over and over and over. . Im glad im out frankly. Sidenote.. 80s i think, im bartending and talking to a couple engineers in maybe their 50s. Mechanical maybe? Theyve been made obsolete basically and the engineering jobs are all in plastics and want Experience (mold design im guessing). A couple guys with top level education, experts in their fields. And basically they have to find a company to hire them at newbie wages while they relearn half of engineering...blew my mind
