I never said there's no need for web developer, or even software engineer.

My point was, back in the day, web designers had this "bread and butter" market where they could make easy few grand by making a website for small business. Now, you do not have that option. Trust me, it was huge.

If your ambition is solely on getting a job at Amazon, eBay, TD Canada Trust, etc...for online security and development, sure there are some jobs available for you.
