In software. Where there are almost no costs to practice or even to start making money off your knowledge. Where the market is growing so fast that everyone and their dog can half-ass some learning for a few months and then land a job - at least if they're young enough, and not operating at peak capacity like most adults.

And that's just a reflection of the shitty state the industry is in.
