Yes, I'm sure I had it easier as there were a lot more jobs requiring programming at the turn of the century than 20 years prior! My point was - is it actually harder for people 15 years younger than me to start up?

Many examples of people in that age having started up on their own, be it some wondrous website thru to a mobile phone app.

Ease of access to consumers with the likes of ebay or app stores and lower running costs into breaking into those avenues have opened up many an avenue that was harder to access before.

But that is progress, come 50+, you may end up having the same perspective in relation to when you started out and starting out today.
