1. The role I've described above is basically 80% of what's involved in
almost all IT roles. Add a little research, maybe.
2. A degree is most definately pointless. Institutionalized learning leads
to institutionalization. There's no such thing as a decent education,
because the only thing that humans can teach is human indecency.
3. Money does not make you rich. Only criminals enjoy a good quality of
life.
4. Nobody gets to retire until they are dead, and even then, it's
questionable.
5. There aren't too many well paying jobs, period.
6. It's not hard to break into IT, it's hard to realize that IT is the same
as any other career field, a dead end.
