I hope you're right, I want you to be right. But honestly, I can't see it. A lot of what we do essentially lives on credit. We're like real estate. We're in demand as long as there is a buyer. Essentially, buyers will cease.

We're not doctors, cops nor lawyers, the world won't cease without us. Hell, even civil workers in governments although less salary, have better safety than we do. I can't shake the feeling that essentially we'll realise that all these companies we work for don't really "exist" as they're just the imagination of someones account balance. At some point its gotta run dry.

My employer has just made `most valuable company'. I am not too concerned. They make a pretty dime, too.

I do know programming, and I enjoy it very much.

But I work in a financial department where it's an alien concept, and as such, unauditable and dangerous. I barely get opportunities to put it in action these days.

I feel your pain.

Unauditable is a fun accusation: you probably use spreadsheets---and they are notorious for being write-only.

You can form a longer term plan to leave that industry and join the tech-industry.

By the way, today I had a meeting with an IT coordinator in a sister-company. He knows everything about SAP. However, he had no clue as to what "Python" is.

I work with dinosaurs apparently.

The SAP ecosystem is its own little world. Nothing to do with age: Python has been around since the late 80s (even though it's only been popular for shorter).

I once did an internship at the SAP mothership. They have good food.
