Not at all. But keep in mind the entire industry is very different now than when it was in my time.

A lot of it involved taking an industry-recognized ten-month vocational program on web design which cost me $11,000 out of my own pocket in 1998. The rest I learned by studying books on such subjects...when paper was still a primary media.

It would seem nowadays one doesn't write straight code, but depends on programming to do it for them. Sounds grim....unprofessional. Most of all it probably translates into much less pay than in my time. Oh well...

What currency was that? Must have taken a lot of work to earn that much. Wait the entry level in my country is 1.5 k per month so it would've taken maybe a year to earn it. My peers in school used ChatGPT to write their code (and essays) for them, I don't know why they even went to school. Maybe they studied at home and pretended to not know anything in school, something similar has happened before

It cost me eleven thousand dollars, some 27 years ago. The high end of vocational training in Northern California.

I was 40 years old when I decided to leave insurance and learn website design. By then I had amassed plenty of money to pay for it. But as I said, the entire industry was different, and still relatively new. When it paid very well. When one was expected back then to know a great many things and perform them from scratch.

LOL....yeah I had to teach myself Excel in less than a working day when my supervisor told me he wanted a spreadsheet on his desk the next day showing all the website projects and domains I was in charge of. I winged it....learning enough to get the job done without ever mentioning I had never used Excel before.

In my line of work at the time it was a wise decision. My bad.

My issue with excel was relearning it after each upgraded drove me nuts I guess as an Aspie I like continuity.

Right, because we as NTs just adore when we learn something, and then it's changed, and we have to relearn it again (sarcasm)

I always thought it was new guy taking over project having new ideas, saw this at work. standardization matters.
I also works. makes stuff interchangeable. I guess the new guy thinks his way is better. To me once you got the best way it's the right way, think Molarity in chemistry, through Normality is a slight improvement.
