World is full of people who aim for a career and miss, at least in tech. Running a local user's group for a number of years and getting to know people there, a lot were living with their parents, supported by their parents, or living in their car. I've been lead in successful tech startups that got bought and Bryce is probably making significantly more than I am and almost certainly working a lot fewer hours. Tech is plagued with cyclic layoffs, acquisitions for the intellectual property where the acquired company is just gutted, and high profile bankruptcies, so it's not so much a matter of finding maybe one or two good jobs, you have to find a good tech job over and over and over. Then if you had or kind of had a career, it becomes extremely difficult to get hired back in to a blue collar job. So, cheers for Bryce.
