I agree. At one time I thought about going back to school for I.T. training, then started to notice how most I.T. jobs were being filled by imported workers on contract from India. I thought again and am atleast glad I didn’t waste my time doing that.
I went into the IT field years back after seeing jobs and opportunities dry up in television production land.
Most of what I used to do with bays of expensive analog and digital videotape machines, edit controllers, and the necessary support equipment is done with with a suitable PC or Mac in one box or laptop.
