Look you can rabbit on about hard work and that BS all you want (I take it you're using weighted keys that take a lot of effort to type with?), but the fact is that to keep the engine the economy turning over in its present form you will need to give people money to spend. How you do this is another matter, but if you think the status quo is going to continue, you're living a blinkered existence.
I can't see much future in IT, at least not sysadmin, which is what I've been doing most of my adult life. It's getting steadily de-skilled and you're already seeing the Windows approach to problem-solving in the Linux VMWare estates: bounce it if you have a fault that isn't hardware-related; log a fault for the service tech otherwise. I'd be doing prison counselling myself if it paid as well - now THAT'S a growth industry!
But I can see that from your cliched, second-hand ideas.
Personally I think there's plenty of future in "IT", depends how high up the food chain you are, and that depends on your intellectual chops.Hard Brexit now!

Lefties, being thick, often don't know the distinction - hence their new found enthusiasm for "printing money".Last edited by sasguru; 2 March 2016, 17:46.Hard Brexit now!
