Are coders worth it?

I agree with he article. It feels true. I have friends who are working so much harder than I am, often doing a much more difficult major, and still get a salary that can barely support their living. And most of the time, not even getting a job for a couple years. Then there's the programmers who's mediocre and is barely passing classes, getting hired at big tech companies and making 100k as a new grad. Programmers are wanted; it's all about picking the right careers then really working hard at one.
