americans misinterpret education as a segway to employment and nothing else so all the common takes are just gonna be 'what i think will lead to a high payment career in an unsaturated job market' which ends up being a dogshit one-for-all answer in practice, and this is reinforced by people never actually thinking about which degree they want to get or putting in the work nor being able to accept that not every industry's job market is structured like a white collar office job

i'm not a videogame dev or whatever but many 'male dominated' fields had many women working on them in the past, but they got overshadowed and weren't given credit, and overly sex-segregated fields are often not actually male/fembrained, a lot of american industries are just really sex segregated for no reason (ie how americans made guitar a male instrument for no fucking reason) and trans people are more likely to ignore this as the oppression of a woman working in a male dominated field i.e coding is massively outdone by the universal shit trannies face and they're much more likely to be disillusioned by all that anyways

there were plenty of female coders and women who worked on videogames (particularly ost's) in the 80s-2000s, it just got pushed as a male only thing and they got overshadowed and the studios that employed them got the credit instead etc etc
