I wouldn't say the field is that barren. Not sure if the APS is your cup 
of tea but often there are APS4 tech roles that are your beginning of 
the field types.

You'll often find that for those roles, the selection criteria will say 
something along the lines of "demonstrate the willingness to learn x, y 
and z."
