Started working retail selling tech in late 90s early 2000s. Used this job to meet clients to do Small business consulting. Got hired by a consulting company. Got laid off when company had financial trouble. Got hired by parent company of former client from previous job to be network admin for 6 offices. Did this for four years and crushed it. There was an opening on the Linux team so I asked for it and got it.
Got lots of experience with Linux obviously and web development. Started doing more and more automation and devops type of work. Led the coop/devops collab between my team and the dev teams. Brought in Chef and really automated everything. Crushed it, but was only making $50-$60k while I knew I could get over $100k.
Spent 1.5 years doing job hunting for a remote job at a tech company that would pay. Interviewed at tough places like Google, Cisco, and Epic Games. Didn't and still don't have the skills for Google. Really honed in my resume and interview skills from lots of practice.
Got hired to do devops type of stuff on a senior engineering team where I am now. Right now I mainly work on Puppet.

Learn programming. Core Programming skills will always be in demand. Tech specific skills (like oracle) will fade into obscurity over time. Oracle DBAs aren't going away anytime soon, though, and they get paid VERY well. Regardless, learn programming. All IT/software tech jobs are going to require programming skills. If you're not doing the automating then you'll be automated.
