It probably the fact that the industry is getting flooded with people who think working in IT is a easy get rich job.
In reality it sucks and the pay is mediocre. It is something you get into because you love it. There is no easy button like a lot of people want.
Thanks for explaining their response.
I hoped my post was clear, I’m really enjoying self hosting and managing servers. Just thought I would see what else I could do to educate myself and provide another opportunity
work on how to explain things to users. I'm good at layman's terms, but not at writing out technical stuff for documentation and billing.
It certainly was 20-25 years ago. Zero formal education besides high school would land you a job 5 times the minimum wage working mostly in air conditioned comfort. Upward mobility was built in, and many of us have leveraged that for even higher paying positions with the gained experience and continued learning of the tech on our own.
