I know tons of people my age who wanted to go into computer science. They failed out, lacked the dedication it took to make up for missing skills, etc.

The wages are making people try, but the field is difficult.

Increased wages could also pull people back into software engineering who are skilled but left for more lucrative fields (or careers with better upward paths).
