    That’s true until you hit advanced IT like Networking, Cyber Security and Systems careers. I’m progressive but most of the older dudes I work with are Def far right Trump supporters. We get paid significantly more as well so you know how money and conservatism goes.

      I think its really an age thing a bit in IT. Where I am (large talcom), a lot of the old timers are pretty Conservative, but also, they don’t seem to know jack about any of the new sort of systems and tech we are using to upgrade the network. Thats all for the younger folks, who are also much more profressive.

        Yeah we had a long time network guy leave because he didn’t want to learn ansible and didn’t trust dnac for firmware upgrades lol. I’ve been running them since my 2nd year. He hated automation. Made me manually upgrade switches my entire first year.
