Maybe not "IT" because IT includes printer toner replacing and stuff
but software engineers? definitely.
but software engineers? definitely.
The parent comment called it IT, so I called it IT, but if use the more specific term "software engineer" I'm still going to say that most software engineering projects aren't likely to injure people when they fail.
Software engineering just doesn't seem to fall in the category of jobs where you'd want to mandate ongoing training... jobs like pilots or psychologists.
a lot of them even in their free time.
You could spend years at a company working with internal frameworks or internal forks of old open-source projects, and when you change jobs, you realize that everyone's using React and all of your experience is with some half-baked alternative to Rails that someone at your last company cooked up in 2008.
Or you could even be a bona fide OS/360 wizard who hasn't touched anything else for the past thirty years, who suddenly finds themselves looking for a new job--not that there's zero demand for OS/360 experts, but it can be very tough to find positions.
