Happy Birthday Sander,
and happy to have you back, Paul
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I'm a mess, but I'm getting there. Just doing the necessary little jobs - though some of them turn into major jobs just to be annoying - and remembering to eat at least twice a day ...

Job security is a myth.
The goal is to find a sequence of jobs you enjoy. Software development is great for that.

I contract. I change roles all the time

You have to also be good at it.

The world is increasingly becoming interdisciplinary. When I was young, engineering and medicine/biology were considered opposites; nowadays they are becoming complementary.
And computer-science/software is an enabler; it is therefore better to be a domain specialist in some engineering/biology field with knowledge of software implementation.
Unless one wants to become a "Theoretical Computer Scientist", if at all such a thing exists.

Quantum computing is pretty theoretical: the theory that there are problems just waitng to be computed.

I haven't seen the inside of an "It department" in years. Security implies "big departments". Like ... (oops).

Right, 'cuz you need the collective knowledge of a lot of people to really be any good at it.
But reality is, security is a cost center, not something that generates revenue. So it's always underfunded and kept to a minimal size.
Ummm, I'm sure I had a point...? Where was I going with that...

I meant "job security". Old boys' networks and the like.

And when exactly wasn't that true?
Excluding specific depressed real estate times of course.
