I make the analogy of the car mechanic. At one time, automobiles were a
luxury and repairs became burdens of only the rich.
As with IT, during the late nineties, networks were a luxury to compete with
your cash/stock-rich counterparts. After the April 2000 correction to the
dot-coms and the NASDAQ, the world sought to have a desktop in every
second-world home and up. Thereof, we were to become the automobile
mechanic. Sure, we're good at what we do, but the market has adjusted the
pay scale to the mass demand of IT; hence, the fall of salaries to represent
that measure.
