A few years ago I was super curious how we stack up numbers-wise compared to doctors and attorneys (quantities artificially limited in the USA because of licenses). I did the research to calculate based on the number of CS graduates being produced by universities, combining it with average number of years worked before retiring. Unfortunately I don't have the references handy at this point.

Interesting, thanks for that info, licenses in other industries artificially reduce participants in that field. I wonder if tech not having them has resulted in our field to dominate most of the economy in the past 5-10 years(or helped that domination).
