Maybe you should focus on not falling too far behind Finland, the Netherlands and Sweden first. I don't think I've ever heard of a Danish tech company. Even tiny Iceland has EVE Online.
> Congrats! The world still needs plenty of professions where the pay sucks and college is required (teachers, civil engineers, LPNs), that are arguably far more useful/noble/whatever you want to call real value.
Shame on you for working in tech and not a more noble profession. I recommend that you resign from your job next week and become a high school math teacher.
(I got a job in tech because I feel it adds the most value to the world so I'm not a hypocrite)
