Difficult carreer no money
I've been working for the last 12 years, learning and practicing as many skills on the side line so I can stay sharp and updated. Yet each time I try to apply to a decent paying job I get told that I still don't have enough experience. I have been forced to accept technical support and deal with a routine mind-numbing position. I see close relatives who don't even have any diplomas, who drive trucks and fix plumbing, that speak 1 language, making WAY more than I do. Where is this gold promised during the rush in the beginning of the 2000????
I will discourage my kids in every possible way not to pursue IT. Instead sending them into management and finance so they can EXPLOIT people with great skills because that is the only lesson to learn here. Pay people peanuts and get monkeys!
