No problem, I hear ya.
I think it's just such a big shift in mentality, where the field is being devalued and looked down upon, and that causes uneasiness
if I could turn off my fear response, I'd do it. But it's a thing that we can't always control, so while I try to minimize it and be optimistic, it'll always lurk there, especially when headlines constantly remind you of it.
Long-term, I think we'll be fine. Nobody will tolerate a run to the bottom where everybody just makes minimum wage and then there's a high class consumer class at the top. It doesn't make sense.
