As a near-Boomer (early Gen-Xer) I do believe I fell into a lucky time. I left high school, then a quick college-paying stint in the service to a red-hot economy in 1990. (Ronald Reagan was to thank for that, and Bill Clinton kept it going.) I started in Programming then, it's been a great ride to this day.

I think kids today have it harder, the opportunity isn't there. AI may take the programming jobs, I'm not sure. (Kids today also have to be exceptionally well-grounded, I think there's a lot more ways to go astray.)

I wish the Millenials good luck-- they'll need it.
