The same thing happened with law careers earlier. Everyone believed that becoming a lawyer was the golden ticket. Back in the early 2000s, law schools were packed with people pursuing that path.
Everyone highlighted the starting salaries of lawyers, but those figures applied mainly to outliers in BigLaw. Many graduates found themselves with $150k in debt, working $60k associate jobs in major cities. It can take a decade or more before you start earning the kind of money you were promised at graduation.
