No, it's a paraphrase of a quote attributed to Banksy and it's specifically about graphic arts, not CS or psychology.

> The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people. - Banksy

First time I heard it was in a conversation about how the best students from directing/film making (or was it 3d artists ?) ended up making ads for cars rather than video installations and I am pretty sure it was before 2010.

The sentiment is the same though but I cannot ever let pass an occasion to throw in my favourite quote: "when all you have is a hammer...".
