Ok, this is assuming that every startup is successful, and that every startup is in tech but it's not really like that. How many startups actually come up with something that's actually going to get some funding and how many of them are going to succeed after that?
Coding the project itself could be considered a somewhat medium task but actually coming up with an idea as well as a way of funding it is harder. Not to mention possible competition.
Ok,ok now let's think about it, you made it but what about your competition? they're bigger, they offer the same service or product, and can actually afford to drive down the price without suffering, what? you're going to sell? ha, that's funny who would want to buy your failed business? most likely they will be stealing your competent engineers.
Don't get me wrong you can still make it big, bigger than the average finance worker but we're talking ambitious people here, people who were raised by tiger moms and who believe the world owns them. Do you think they're going to stop at $5 million dollars? or $10 million? I don't think so. Not to mention the competition that it takes to get into Google or facebook.
Probably most CS grads end up as sys admins or engineers at 2nd tier or 3rd tier companies with 72K pe year and some equity.
In life nothing is guaranteed and finance covers a whole net of industries from accounting to wealth management and financial regulation to Hedge Funds.
I forgot to mention that regulation doesn't mean that there will be fewer jobs also did I also refer the ageism culture that exists? being 43 in tech is not nice while in finance you don't have to worry about being kicked out because of your age.
You're giving me the feeling that you're insecure with your career choice/future(just like many people who ask these questions) and that you believe you would be more well off in tech.
If I believed I'd be better off in tech I would go and do tech. I don't know what I want to do and wanted to hear some thoughts from others. Don't see why this is bad.
Willing to bet that there are ambitious people who get jobs in something other than tech or finance....
You may not see as many clickbait articles about their career paths, but they do exist, OP.
Now now, let's not try and reinvent the wheel here. OP, you can only be successful if you work in either tech or finance.
Jesus... just pick the one you where you'll perform better. If you're talented you'll be fine wherever you go.
This is exactly like every other topic relating to this. Enjoy the rest of high school/college and don't worry about it.
