Yeah I understand that my job will go away eventually, fortunately it won’t effect me in my life time. Specialised skills in a specialised industry are worth a fortune.
What also helps me is I teach my trade to others, I’m not the dumb cunt on the ground doing all the labour every day all day.
I wouldn’t recommend getting into my trade today to anyone however. It’s hard on the body but if you have the work ethic and knowledge there’s a fortune to be made in Australia.

Unlike all that computer crap, which is, thankfully, finally all solved.
We can tell because our computer, phone, Internet connection, shopping websites, and government services websites all work perfectly, all the time, without any security breaches, now. (This is sarcasm).
I’m not saying computers aren’t specialised at some point. My point is where I live in can make over 200k a year with 2 weeks off every 3 weeks. I don’t have that sort of opportunities in other industries where I am
Like with any specialization, I’m glad you’re doing yours so I don’t have to learn it or learn to live without it.
On the computer bullshit side, shareholders and CEOs are betting hard on AI, right now, and we’re - unbelievabably - headed toward an even greater shortage of talent.
Unfathomably, I believe folks are going to look back with nostalgia on today’s pathetic computer science talent pool.
(No offense to my peers, but there clearly aren’t enough of us who actually know what we’re doing.)

I’ve been in support and sales engineering for over a decade and the number of people who can’t read an error message and then do what it says on the first search result is too damn high.
But it makes me look like a miracle worker which is nice.

Yeah. I’m just joking about your choice of words.

Lol. Yeah. That part is nice. I would trade it for a more sane world. But it’s nice.
