This should be common knowledge. I recall in the 1990s there was a huge push for truck drivers. Everywhere you went "Be a truck driver! Own your own business! Make six figures!" And only a decade later, employed drivers struggle to make ends meet.

If you see a huge push for a particular job - you better plan your exit.

Nursing in the early 2000s, CS in 2010s. I'm guessing whatever University of Phoenix is pushing, stay the fuck away from.
