when regular users began developing similar skill sets

That happened while I was at Cal State as a Computer Information Systems major. Business owners were installing and maintaining their own information systems and the "professional" market just wasn't there. It happened very fast.

One of my programming teachers said a programmer could write his own ticket. Five years later programmers in the US were unemployed and programmers in India were doing the same work for five bucks an hour.

Thanks for the advice.

Where might one go to find training in system security? Is that a tech school curriculum?

Wish I knew where to go - just retired from AF civil service and was part of the Cyber Security training team - didn't have the latest credentials as I was in supervision rather than development (those who can, do; those who used to be able to, but can't anymore, supervise.

Good luck
