Ask HN: Can/Will server, network and security jobs ever be outsourced?

I am a server/security guy from Nepal and this is unfortunate situation where Nepalese companies are absolutely bad pay, bad Worklife, bad politics everything. Remote jobs are not possible.

Getting entry to offshored IT companies is meaningless. Since companies like logpoint, verisk, cedar gate work on age old technologies compared to the Nepali companies making product for nepali market.

I want to make enough money so that I do not have to be scared about next month. Something around 70 thousands per month would be a nice amount at this moment at this age of my life.

Thus I was seeking some remote jobs opportunities. My friends told me that server, security, network etc jobs are vulnerable so they will never be outsourced. They might be offshored(establishing a company in Nepal) but will never be outsourced. Unless it is basic wordpress hardening type job.

Also it requires physical presence in most cases.

Unlike software engineering or data analysis, these jobs seem to be tough to be outsourced. Thus I wonder what can I do as an aspiring devops and dba guy from Nepal to make money?
