Hehehe, this gave me a chuckle. Most UNIX people are skilled across lots of different areas: we make for good automechanics, good carpenters, good architects, good electricians, good anything. We can easily become DBAs or work in network security. If that "dried up", we could always go do something completely different: for instance, if I lost all opportunity to work in IT because of economics, I already have a job waiting for me working as an auto mechanic, and it wouldn't take me all that much to become a licensed electrician, or an electronics engineer. I'd most likely go study medical science, and might go so far as to do molecular biology and gene therapy research; I could also go study economics and trading systems, because I've been doing pretty good at those on my own. I could figure out just about anything if I put my mind to it. So, no worries for us "UNIX people". UNIX taught us how to think about the real world that it was modeled after.
