Yeah, the bull$shitters always make the big bucks. For a short time, the "geeks" got in on it, but too many of them were full of bull$hit too, and they got hammered. You can kind of take your choice in life: care about real, hard skills and actually making or fixing something, and maybe make enough to survive, or learn how to schmooze, manipulate, lie, and generally spin a line of bull, and make some real money.
