Yet, with the current climate of the job market it keeps getting harder and harder to find a job nowadays, especially for entry-level positions. Doesn't that strike you as odd that instead of having more demand there's less even as technology exponentially becomes a huge part of modern civilization? There seems to be already a filter for those who are not "nerds" with the current situation.

There has to be a matchup of demand and supply, and I feel our industry has optimized for the types of jobs that are in higher demand during boom times and cheap capital. I've been in the industry since the late 90s and have seen the cycle repeat itself. The entry-level jobs always dry up and breadth becomes more valuable than depth.
