In fact, that's more than the prime majority of bankers will ever see.

Computer science/coding seemed to have travelled the same trajectory before the stigma faded. A very in demand trade that nobody really wanted to do despite basics being available to many.

That is after many spent their entire life savings, and sold their houses to give their children "business" eduction in the West.
