...but this is all true. I have been in the IT business since 1980 and the skills above are useless. We oldies need to realize that we can never rest our skills. I gave in at about 1994 that I had to keep up and my certifications were going to become useless. I have boxes of certs from various tests (yep, Novell was in there) that I should just burn but, they cost a lot of time and money. It is interesting, though, how many things have come back. I learned Ultrix in 1985...hmmm...virtualization; that's not new...
