@GamesMissed uh, to be clear, i did not make more money _in that sector_ and the work I did was _information security_ related. But still, like, it’d be nice if the folks securing our nations’ nuclear infrastructure against cyber attacks…you know, had a meaningful education and background in cybersecurity, and wasn’t “some rando developer that a security company hired and dressed up like a security engineer. Computers are computers, right?”.

@b4ux1t3 Decades ago, around the time offices were upgrading from MS-DOS to Windows for Workgroups, my sibling was in IT. His company hired a computer consultant with a nice suit and great hair to give 2-hour introductory classes to all employees, 25 people at a time, for $1000 PER HOUR (in early '90s money, remember). My brother attended the first class, took detailed notes, then went to the CEO and explained in detail that the consultant was an incompetent buffoon.
