Yo, IT people. Do me a favor. When you're discussing your job online bragging about how you do jack-shit for work yet get paid 6 figures to play on the internet all day, actually specify the title instead of the old "I do IT" schtick. Its like calling everyone who remotely works with rocks a stoner. Miner? Stoner. Construction worker? Stoner. Mason? Stoner! Details, people! Details. Also for any IT oldheads reading, is it still worth getting into? I imagine theres a ton of competition now that computers are so popular and learning to program is a free skill.

@smokey I suffer from ADHS/autism, so i get bored really fast after doing the the same job for serveral years. I simply like to learn new things. My favorite job, hard to say, i liked everyone of them in a different manner, except security. If i had to pick one, IT develpoment, cos i like to play around with bleeding edge stuff and big hardware. Ok, to be honest, to be a husband was my worst job xD · 2 years ago
@bavarianbarbarian Sounds like you've lived an interesting life! Thanks for sharing your 'CV' lol!
Thats a lot of different types of work you've done over your career, good on you for diversifying your skillsets, If I may ask, why did you fluxuate between so many job types? Also, what were some of your favorite jobs and why? · · 2 years ago
Got divorced, joined EON as a Sysadmin in a nuclear power plant.

Then again als cable guy, pizza delivery, professional driver, writer, sculpturer, artist, cook, gardener and cuddler of cats. Enough CV so far? xD · 2 years ago
Ok, let it go, i started my IT career as a dns hostmaster, i introduced idn domains at a major german ISP,
then switched to the next major ISP doing B2B domain trading. After that, I did some more relaxing work like
plumbing and cabeling electric stuff. Then i joined Toshiba development team, got married, switched to HP development site as a senior Unix sysadmin. · 2 years ago
I usually say I work in IT because when I tell people what I do their eyes sort of glaze over... · 2 years ago
