"Family support you got becoming a dev"

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

Ahem.
No.

Can someone help me understand? Why do so many parents not want their kids to work in software development? Here it's a really lucrative field and lots of parents push their kids to do it even if they don't want to, so I'm having trouble understanding.

@justamuslimguy computers are bad. Anything with a screen will suck away your soul.

I had plenty of support I'll the UK, I was pretty directionless before I started focusing on tech, so maybe they were just glad I was going to have a career ;-)
