    Cable/ISP installation might be a good entry level role that can't be outsourced.

    What roles are you looking at? IT and tech is very broad. It could mean tech sales to a CTO.

    they usually work in call centers, and much of this is outsourced to India, the Philippines, etc. You don't need a degree to do any of these. Go to school ONLY if you are looking to do something beyond troubleshooting keyboard and mouse problems. The tech job market is also a dumpster fire currently. lots of laid offs and etc from the pandemic overhiring.
     
    that is not to say it will stay that way but here are the things.... there are two desirable characteristics to a job
    1) low barrier to entry
    2) high income
    these two are inversely proportional to one another. you can have one or the other but not both. 
     
    case point of 1: YouTube. low barrier to entry so 95% of the YouTubers do not make any money off the platforms. channels like linus tech tips are by far the top 1% of the top 1% in this industry's income brackets
     
    case point of 2: airline pilot. requires a college degree, flight school, AND 2500+ hours of flying experience, plus so many licenses. flight school and degree alone cost 100k+ in tuition so very few new and qualified young pilots are entering job markets causing the experienced pilots to be like unicorns. these people get snatched up by major airlines left and right earning half a million+ USD worth of compensation packages per year. 
     
    so it is either one or the other, not both. you go pick one. Do you want to get paid well or do you want to get a job easily?

    this is list of his most notorious mailing list abuses. brilliant man but i imagine also someone who is difficult to work with. steve jobs, founder of apple is another well-known tech asshole for anyone who knows him well enough.  he would straight up tell his subordinate that their work is complete utter crap if thats what he felt.

    If your hardwares are not supported then they are not supported. Look into Linux compatibility list to see what hardwares, e.g. printers, wireless cards ect run on it. Same thing for softwares.  In short, do your research.
