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.

You're between contracts.

Quote: majoring in computer science isn't the road to the promised land of money and job security after all
Was it, ever? 'cuz you have to have the right reasons to be there.
I remember during my first semester of college, there were plenty of people who told me - literally - they weren't really interested in it, but liked the prospect of a good paycheck. IOW, they were in it only for the money.
I thought at the time, you don't build a career out of that.
More than half of the population was gone before the second semester started. Good riddance! At the end of our 3 years, I think 8 of us graduated.
