To clarify, I offered one IT career track within a growth industry. The only certainty I can promise is cloud-related roles are not going away anytime soon. Many clients I know will implement cloud-hybrid or cloud-native architectures for the next 3, 5, X years. Some informative links to help you get up to speed:

Many technical and non-technical roles are available in this space. Here's an example:

Scroll to page 9. You'll see technical/non-technical positions. The document will provide potential salary ranges for each position group. What you eventually earn is up to you. Discipline, effort, and reliability--basic skills that will separate you from the crowd. And no, I'm not a technical recruiter. But I do hear from several every week to stay informed on business needs and trends.
