Lean to design, and to be a technical wizard with the machines that may replace any of us. You will always have work, and if you are first on a new machine, you will get top dollar. Wikipedia is not always right -- in fact they discovered that a lot of medical questions were answered by non-doctors. Keep that in mind when your research leads you there. I was way ahead of the game with networking and my salary plus commission was excellent. I got burned out with the all night jobs, but my company was getting $200-250 an hour for my services. I didn't get that, but it was ego building to know that I was the one they requested. It also opened even more doors because I became well known in the area I lived. It is just a machine. Somebody still has to tell it what to do. |
