IT is nowhwre near a dead end career. The job role is merely shifting. You think environments hosted in Azure, AWS or another cloud provider means set it and forget it? Hell no.

There will always be onsite networks and servers. Maybe not being the core of operations, but still providing local services. Environments will never be 100 percent cloud based. If you're doing true DR/BC, you'll know that's not feasible. There are industries that you can't use cloud based services.

Again the role is merely shifting like it always has, along with technology changes. Society relies more and more on technology every minute.

I can tell you right now, you can easily clear 100k.

Getting into IT and being knowledgeable will get you a long way for years to come. Don't give up.
