IT Consultant / Driving Instructor

Having left the IT sector 5 years ago due to not being able to find suitable contract or permanent employment due I think to my age (now 57) I re-skilled and became a driving instructor. Many of the pupils I teach are taught ITC in college and the level of subjest they are taught appalls me as, in my opinion, it bears no relation to what the industry appears to calling for. They are given subjest to discuss without the basic information that any professional would ask before comment. i.e. what do you want to do with it, can it be supported, has the user any prior knowledge, can they turn it on etc need I go on. 5 years ago myself and many of my peers got out of computing due to many factors, undervalued, IR35 and much more, now the industry and goverment bleat.
