I've know IT folks who have been employed 20+ years in the industry.
A few have 1 year's worth of useful experience repeated 20 times.
Others I know are relative "youngsters" with only 5 years in the
IT industry but exhibit 25+ years practical experience.
So, it all depends. If you think you go to school once and coast
into retirement, then you'll find yourself left behind so you
better start practice saying, "Would you like your order Super-Sized."
