Is UglyCat crazy, or is he just a common or garden crust punk? Plenty of them out there, just visit Portland or Tompkin's Square Park in Manhattan.

Imposter syndrome is a thing, and tbp is probably underrating themself a bit, but no, luck is far more important than people (especially successful wealthy people) acknowledge. It's good to know that at least one person in finance isn't deluding themselves into thinking that their success comes from being a genius übermensch.

Knowing how to take advantage of luck is a huge skill. Some people can throw away a lot of luck.

(if you're interested in and capable of studying both CS and English, you may well want to choose the former!)

This was actually me. Boy, was I lucky that I randomly picked CS because I thought it would "challenge" me more! Because I didn't get any guidance that it was a better choice at all.

Moral of the story didn't study jazz guitar study computer science if you want a job

That's the secret - for now. That way of thinking also led to a glut of lawyers a few years back. Probably good odds for someone picking their degree right now, assuming they have decent aptitude for code and don't hate the thought of being in a cubicle making for-loops for the next 50 years.
