I'm exploring different career paths and have a genuine interest in programming. I appreciate that my tuition is mostly covered by my employer, so I'm weighing the financial benefits. I've heard mixed opinions about the computer science job market lately—some say it's oversaturated and affected by AI automation, while others point out that there are still plenty of successful programmers out there, including my brother who is doing really well. I'm looking for some insights on whether pursuing a career in coding is still a financially sound choice.

Yeah, it's definitely become oversaturated in some areas. While you can find good salaries at the top end, landing a decent entry-level job can be tough nowadays.
Honestly, lots of fields face challenges like those you're mentioning. The important thing is to choose something you really care about and commit to it. Success comes from passion and hard work, whether that’s in programming or any other field.
There are definitely still lucrative opportunities in tech, but it really depends on your specific path. I've only learned enough coding to handle troubleshooting, but I make a solid income in IT. It's really about what you want to do and staying adaptable to industry changes. If you're invested in learning, you'll likely find a good path.
What’s your job title? I'm looking for roles close to development.
