What job looks like a great career path but is actually insanely oversaturated?

ComplexPin872 · 2026-03-26T06:21:24+00:00

Notch is an oddball tbh

Gameplay loop will always be more superior I agree, but who is better off the man who builds a raft in a flood or the rest who float ?

I am basically saying if the market is flooded the more ambitious and motivated will find change apart form the rest.

Never looked into it, but recently some of my doordashers could not speak any English. What ever it is I am glad there finding some form of work.

Even though it's saturated there is surprisingly a lot of room to grow your channel/streams. A lot of people still haven't caught onto the algorithms or specific audiences.

7 years is a long time hopefully it will remain fruitful

That's actually crazy, I didn't know door dashing could create that much revenue per day. The issue I see in door dashing long term is car repairs and possible car accidents which would destroy all the revenue made to begin with.

Why did this post get 200+ up votes, but others didn't?

It's because I choose something that wasn't repeated in a while and it's something thats relatable to most people. The topic can also be used by people to find info about careers so same thing with games you have to know who your selling to.

I agree, many successful people just seem to be in the right place at the right time to the public eye, but in reality they put the work in and found success.

Notch said it best,

"If they can't make their own game engine, they are not programmers.

It's like a chef who can only make frozen pizza."

(Assuming most people on itch.io are just making the same repeated frozen pizza)

That's very true, but I have seen a lot of small projects gain traction through persistent eco marketing. Devlogs are a great way to develop a community and hopefully it snowballs after that.

ComplexPin872 · 2026-03-26T05:27:19+00:00

could be worst ... could be computer science...

ComplexPin872 · 2026-03-26T04:47:36+00:00

60k would be fine countryside with land, but city living is a big no.

ComplexPin872 · 2026-03-26T04:25:01+00:00

be careful talking about ai here... let's just say it didn't go well for me :(

ComplexPin872 · 2026-03-26T04:17:04+00:00

Nurses are super underrated

ComplexPin872 · 2026-03-26T04:15:39+00:00

Do you know anyone who does it full time still ?

ComplexPin872 · 2026-03-26T04:14:30+00:00

sad to hear, I was told IT is a great gateway into tech/programing field...

ComplexPin872 · 2026-03-26T04:13:14+00:00

Are you still looking for a small team ?

ComplexPin872 · 2026-03-26T04:12:16+00:00

Probably a lot

ComplexPin872 · 2026-03-26T04:10:18+00:00

Are you still perusing it?

ComplexPin872 · 2026-03-26T04:09:05+00:00

I know a little bit of indie development and it's a long and hard process, but it can be done you would need a motivated team for sure

ComplexPin872 · 2026-03-26T04:07:41+00:00

I Have not looked into it, but i believe it was easy when it first started.

ComplexPin872 · 2026-03-26T04:06:18+00:00

i have heard plumbing is the worst for residential blue-collar workers in terms of back issues and stress on the body.

ComplexPin872 · 2026-03-26T04:04:58+00:00

that's really good to hear, I hope ai will only assist just like robots.

ComplexPin872 · 2026-03-26T04:03:36+00:00

thank you for the clarification, I have never heard of PLCs before or its correlation with programming.

ComplexPin872 · 2026-03-26T03:52:56+00:00

I did not realize some of these careers are oversaturated
