I've been in IT for almost 25 years. The only constant is change. You need to adapt, and realize that the hot skill you have today will be a commodity tomorrow. I used to be able to bill $100/hr just to do basic PC TCP/IP stuff - now it's all built-in and automatic. When I started my last job, I was one of 7 sysadmins. When I left, I was the only one. At the same time, we went from ~150 systems to 2500. Now I'm doing a mix of 'build engineering' and cloud stuff. Next year? Who knows?
