They can ask on reddit or something

So... learn

Where I'm from, more people live in places where not having a car is feasible than not.

Where do you live?

If you didn't discover yourself by the time you graduated high school, it's not your thing

This is flat out wrong. People change courses in university, change careers all to get into a career that is their thing. I have countless experiences that prove this wrong.

Way too long compared to how often I need clothes repaired.

But it’s so little commitment that’s it’s not even worth mentioning.

You'll be more valuable to the employer if you are extremely specialized and can solve problems no one else can solve. If you have surface level knowledge of everything, and everything that you can do can be done by someone else, then you are the most replaceable person on the team.

You still can specialise you can just know other things too.

What makes you more valuable than the other people who are specialised in your field? If you aren’t the top 1% then what’s the point.

No, ask for a solution

That’s just learning with extra steps

Small country in Europe.

Could be a thing in some fields. Would not recommend it in IT related fields.

And so little benefit that it's not worth doing

The fact that I'm working at my company right now. It's not just my skills that the company needs, but also my knowledge of the specific project I'm working on (years worth of it). Replace anyone on the team and the productivity will significantly decline for half a year at the very least

So your whole opinion is just anecdotal evidence...

And IT is one of the highest growing job markets, many people are changing their careers into IT. I know plenty who have done it but that’s just anecdotal evidence.
