I've been in the IT field for 20+ years, but I've never made that much in a year. What's stopping someone from saying, "Hire two cheaper guys, so there's redundancy?"

What on earth have you spent your time learning? How do you have 20 years of experience but no specialized skills that bring a modest salary?

Do you not have time for personal development while at work?

I'm not trying to be rude, I'm legitimately curious.
