Fortunately, there are lots and lots of "technology" jobs that do not fit people's preconceived notions of what it means to be working in "STEM".

Think, things like being a designer, product manager, analyst, ect, ect, ect.

Even the job I do today, working as a web developer, is something that the "hardcore" programmers of 40 years ago, would likely look down on, as I do not fit into their traditional opinion, from 40 years ago, of what it means to work in STEM.

There will likely be more jobs like that in the future



> would likely look down on

The reason for this is because 40 years ago, you had to write everything to get something on screen.

The modern generation benefits from the foundational knowledge and be able to do more.


Yes exactly.

And to further expand this metaphor, I am sure that in another 40 years, there will be significantly more tools that will allow people to more easily develop things.

Such jobs would also be very valuable.
