> What I did was not rocket science.

Exactly. You don’t need a 4-10 year degree in CS to solve them.

However, actual rocket science and other hard engineering disciplines is where educated talent is needed. Yet, the salary and startup opportunities are so much worse, that many mechanical and electrical engineers end up working in IT, consulting etc. You don’t build rockets, airplanes, cars or energy plants for the money
