Outsourcing lost many experienced people to IT for good. I had over 30 years when my IT work dried up in 2001 but I have been unable despite trying to get work in IT so I've moved to pastures new.
I got fed up with being told I was too experienced therefore companies thought I would move on as soon as more money came along. Instead I just moved to another business. I still apply for IT work as I would like to get back to decent money but my skillset is out of date now.
Pity accountants and human remains weren't the first one to be outsourced perhaps we might still have home grown IT people.
