[dba-Tech] Plumbers are more essential than web developers, even though they're less valued?

Hi Shamil:

Yeah, but you are still a youngster and the market will always need good
coders. I have a couple of friends who are still coding every day and are as
old as I am. ;-)

 Hi Jim --

Yes, I did check the comments. I have seen the stats somewhere - all the
modern industries are for "kids" (12+ - 25) and young people - 20-40...

I'm in programming/databases not from the "first wave" times - I'm from the
 "New Wave"  ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_wave_music ) times :)
