Planning for future of IT career

[Bob Williamson <bob_williamson () AW ORG>]

I have been noticing an ongoing trend of schools much larger than ours going "cloud only".  Being a smaller school with 
only a couple IT workers, I am hoping to get some insight on the future of IT careers from those in larger environments.

Question:  As things go more to the "cloud", what type of skills for IT professionals do you envision will be in most 
demand?  

Examples:  It seems to me that low level Exchange server and VMWare skills will become less important.  Whereas 
routing, wireless, and firewalls might become more important? Etc.

Thanks,
