A big issue is, IT is a very broad field with many parts extremely niche and disconnected from each other.
It's like saying "work in science" that could mean anything.
I've met more than a few programmers that were above average, but could barely turn on their computer.
I've had many discussions with friends, saying I should work on servers or desktops when my IT experience is in medical databases and interfaces (HL7)...
Cool fact many modern "Amish" use their religion/appearance just to sell you shit at expensive prices.
They don't actually follow the Amish teachings any more. It's about 90% loopholes and excuses for why they can use modern things. I.E. they are perfect modern capitalists.
The number of things that started out good then became evil is insane.
It takes some a long time to admit it, just look at Google.
