Hi,
How do you look at it when all software are more or less moving to cloud, Wouldn't that affect local IT jobs?
Thanks

It's a great question to think about. But the answer is of course: Yes and No.
No, because cloud technology continues to grow and expand in every aspect of daily life and businesses. This means that there will continue to be jobs in IT for the future. Everyone will have to learn how to access the cloud, support cloud technologies in ways we haven't thought about before and business will have to adapt. The ever changing landscape cloudscape means job directly and will grow. Even the aspect of securing the data in the cloud, managing data and compliance will all provide more opportunities in IT.
Also for the end user, there will always still be support that is needed the user but less of them and less is required of this particular role as the desktop becomes merely a portal that can be replaced when no longer functional. So this role may see some reduction in size.
Also for the IT workforce who wlll maintain those systems that will never go away or the company just feels better about doing everything the way they have always done it. They aren't going away. but they aren't growing field either.
The only thing stopping the IT professional today is that willingness to learn something new and to be challenged by what is happening for the future of IT.

So from you point of view, Which learning path is the best way to go in this days?
@sam,
Depends on your experience level.
If you have no IT experience or career-changer, you must learn the basics of IT and the logical concepts there especially in troubleshooting from the end user's point of view.
So that is a beginning, not and end.
If you're experienced in on-premises work and working with end-users. I would suggest that you look at cloud and at least some type programming language. Many things will begin to require basic scripting or programming.
