Why are you arguing so hard against someone that simply stated “I was interested in pursuing this topic as a career when I was in college but then I learned more about the field and decided to pursue something else”?

Different posters, Taek made the post you're referring to, I'm responding to voakbasda.

Regardless, why are you white-knighting for him? He made a moral argument about career choice, and I responded to said argument as someone who took the other side. This is a discussion board, we discuss things.
