   This is very common in educational technology.  I've seen many teachers 
work their way into edtech jobs, only to stay a year or two and then run as 
fast as they can back into the classroom.

   Compsci people (read:mainstream IT) people will similarly stay a year or 
two to gain some experience, and then go into business IT.  You can't really 
blame them, the money is much better and the work is less.

   If one looks at the NumOfComputers-to-TechPerson support ratios, like many 
things in education, edtech is wildly underfunded.
