So I'm currently pursuing a B.S. in Software Engineering and I've read some startling things from software developers. From what I understand, entering the field of software development isn't hard but keeping the job is the issue. Apparently, companies like to hire the young ones and lay off the old ones, and after some time of unemployment, older developers can't find jobs. From what I read, the only way to survive is work hard to keep up with the newest standards, get promoted to a management position (software architect, engineer, etc.) or start your own company and make your own product. Can anyone confirm/deny this? I'm talking about in the U.S. by the way.
