I had the same issue Rob did.  Now that I see the real article, I think it
is written to achieve a specific goal rather than relate honest facts.  

That said, absolutely I would recommend computer technology in its various
forms to anyone.  IT has the ability to be creative, logical, and responsive
and many other adjectives all at one time.  Bad management, guess what, ask
the Wall Street firms about that, sadly it's everywhere.

Get on with the real world, find a vocation you like to do and do it.  For
me, I love playing with all the really expensive toys others buy me to play
with.  The fact that they have to make money with these systems does not
change my enjoyment of playing with the really cool toys.

Your tinyurl is not related to the long url at all.
If it was a tricky way to get us to view the video it was not appreciated. 
 Some of us have jobs that frown on certain videos.  Some companies frown on
YouTube in general.

If it was an honest mistake, well, ok.

I wouldn't discourage someone from going into IT.  Now, I don't tend to
break it down into all the subcategories, like in as versus "computer
science, data analytics and mobile design".

Basically I would say that if someone's interests lie there then there's
been a lot of people who put meat on the table working in that field.  I
would warn them that, like many other professions, if they think people are
going to walk into their neighborhood and knock on their door with job
offers that's a fallacy.
