if I were a teenager these days, I'd be more worried about the vasts amounts of money required to get a credential that may not be worth a damn in a few years time

I wouldn't be worried about learning things that may become obsolete, even those particular skills that get obsoleted provide the student with extra ability to learn more

PS: very nice of John Carmack taking time to respond such DMs



> vasts amounts of money required to get a credential that may not be worth a damn in a few years time

are you referring to the degree program like CS or a degree across any field in general?


I'm talking about tuition in certain countries, for CS and other degrees as well. Its cost has spiralled out of control for some reason, but its value proposition certainly hasn't and it faces further challenges down the line.
