I’m sure our wonderful politicians will find a way to bring in IT workers on H1B’s to do this work for less.

“Hive” is a tech skill? Can I take a college course called Hive 101?

I have been in tech since the mid 80’s and I cannot wait to leave it, just a couple more years unless I just throw in the towel. It is not about science anymore and has not been since about 2000 give or take. It has been bastardized to instant gratification, useless social media, spyware, and useless/convoluted business apps. IMO about 30% of the software out there provides a useful service.

I won’t even get into the demographics.

Call it burn out or whatever, it sucks.

Half of these are “big data” oriented.

What will skew the salaries up in those is the fact that many of those jobs are intelligence oriented. The high clearance involved demands the higher salary, as much as the technology.

Not much of a point, but I figured I’d throw it out there.

Alternatively, you can work for a state government and make millions:

Intercollegiate head coach: $3.5 million

Heck, even a garbage collector in CA makes big bucks:

Refuse Collector: $143K
