It's just downright mean to keep telling all of these out-of-work journalists to learn to code. In the first place, that kind of skill is probably unobtainable by someone working in journalism because of...well, you know, IQ issues. Plus, existing coders already meet most of the current demand.
So, let's be realistic. Coding isn't going to work for most of these people. On the other hand, how hard can swine-breeding be?

Learn to cook. Friends tell me millennials don't even know how to boil water to make instant coffee. (My kids are an exception of course!)
ReplyDeleteBTW I'm disappointed that the Dem ladies didn't all wear Handmaid outfits to the SOTU, but I guess Nurse Ratched white coats is appropriate.
ReplyDeleteSwine breeding, an honorable and useful profession. Trucking too, Walmart is offering 90G per annum (exp required.) They'll even accept your gender studies degree, as long as you have no DUIs.
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I wouldn't trust any coding that a journalist could do. You'd have stop lights exploding at every intersection, MRI machines ripping the teeth out of patients' heads, autonomous cars trying to kill their owners ... oh, wait, I think that one might be true already.
ReplyDeleteJournalists will have to get in line behind the grade schoolers who are learning to code. The kids have the edge.
