Software is ideal for people that don't want to dedicate their lives to their work.
When someone becomes a doctor or a lawyer, that's their life. They invest so much time into getting there and then their entire life revolves around that until they die. I have multiple family members that are full fledged doctors and it seems so depressing. My anesthesiologist uncle betabuxes for his designer-clothing obsessed wife that only gives him pity sex and wastes his money. I have an older cousin that just took his MCAT and is having huge doubts about medical school after I blackpilled him on how shitty the career is, now he's trying to become a compscicel like me.
Whereas in software you have plenty of WFH opportunities and unlimited vacation time. It's extremely easy to take a few months off with no work on a whim then go find another equally prestigious job, and you're wrong to say software doesn't scale well. Senior software engineers make bank and people often get promoted from junior to senior after 1-2 years.
This isn't even mentioning the SHEER AMOUNT of schooling a lawyer or doctor must go through along with the rigorous testing. That's many years of their lives spent reading books spending a fuck ton of money in law/med school preparing for exams. Meanwhile the software engineer is stacking 6 figure paychecks for all those years, building their wealth.
Law/medicine is the best way to fast track yourself to alcoholism and an early death from stress.
I wouldn't recommend CS for everyone though, not everyone is built for this type of thinking and many people get weeded out of classes early on.
Plus this is the best career path if you want to become self-employed.
STOP THINKING ABOUT YOUR CAREER IN TERMS OF SOCIAL OPPORTUNITIES/HOW MANY WOMEN WILL BE THERE. THIS IS RETARDED AND YOU'RE SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE FOOT.
