IT Field vs. Real Work

From my past experience in factory work and my current work experience out of the IT field, I can tell you that there is definitely something “weird” about the IT field. To put it bluntly, not enough rewarding of people who do a good job and too much of a desire to create an inner circle and remove people who aren’t in the circle. It’s not technically skilled workers with a blue collar mentality, it’s nerds who punch above their weight. Then it’s recruiters who don’t really understand skilled from unskilled and focus on background factors instead of ability.
