Yeah, people need to get in on this ASAP. You would think oversaturation would cause the market on this to bottom out, but 2 things keep that from happening.
1. More and more companies and systems are requiring devs
2. Not that many people know how to code despite this trend.
Which is funny to me because if I compare my level of coding when I had my first dev job (primarily debugging, documentation, and library creation) to what I know now.... I didn't know shyt
I promise anybody on this forum. If you are unemployed, you can self-teach enough C++/Java in 4 weeks to get a job making 55k-65k easy. If you keep leaving the company after each project you do, you'll be 6ix figures in a matter of years.
And people wonder why IT is such a sought after area. Its free money for minimal effort
4 Weeks
and making 55K. At least be realistic. Yea it is a great field to be in but you are not getting employed after putting in 4 weeks of work. Realistically if you are studying 8+ hours a day for 6 months you could probably land a job as a junior dev making between 45-50K if EVERYTHING goes right.
But once you get that first job and prove yourself as competent you are set
I am speaking as someone who got a Econ degree worked in finance and decided to switch up careers. I have been working at it for around 6 months now and just accepted my first dev job.

I wanted to code, but realized I only cared about making video games. And that shyt takes more time than I'm willing too dedicate.

If you got the mind for it coding is where its at. You get paid well and you get to create cool shyt everyday.

Yeah, I don't have the will or interest. I was trying to learn java and had a bunch of other books, just went and gave them to my little cousin.
A little bit more on my career, back when I was in consulting I had access to information that would tell me the market pay rate for 90% of yalls jobs.I could scope it by industry, geography, size of company etc.
Used to hook my friends up with info when they were job searching so they could never get low balled.
Edit: It was also helpful to see what my client companies specifically paid their employees. Gave insight to possible career choices that the average person would never think of.
