Solid point. But it depends - if you are a 20,30-year old with no obligations then there is a high chance that you do not really know how the world works. I guess I’m suggesting your typical mom’s basement rat who neither has the programming skills or the domain/business logic. But the field is quite forgiving, so you can pull it off no matter your background. Here were I live, programmers get paid 5-6 times more than the average income. Some seniors get the same money as a bank director would and of course, not the same levels of stress. A lot of people actually transition to IT and do it successfully, but we are an outsource market and there are companies that hire a lot of juniors and sell them to customers as seniors...so better environment for new-starters. I would say to the author to go ahead and try it! I truly love this field, it is amazing!
