Interesting video Eli, this video definitely applies to my current situation as I am an I/T generalist who is currently out of work. I've been out of work for less than a month and I've been on several interviews very recently and hopefully will have a few job offers this week. Just for a point of reference I live in the Cincinnati metro area so obviously it's a decent sized and relatively healthy market. I also have 12 years of experience in the field and no I am not at 100k yet probably because I don't have any "high end" certifications. I'm in the 50-60 range. Anyway enough background info here's the point of my comment. Partly I think you give users wwwaaayyyy too much credit for how much "self service" they're willing to do as every company I've ever worked at when we've tried to implement those initiatives there has been extreme resistance and we almost always end up doing the tasks for the users anyway because they can't/won't read the instructions for fix their issues. I think the problem is more cultural than technological. As long as companies let their users be stupid and lazy than there will always be a need for "IT" folks regardless of how easy the tech gets. With all of that being said however if I were a young buck not someone who's almost 40 I doubt I would choose "IT generalist" as a career path.
