I think I need more details.
I am an Electronics Technician working in an IT department as a Technical Specialist. This, in theory, puts me in two of the 'most hated' positions. I love my job! The pay isn't great at my company, but the work is different all of the time. Variety is what make the job worth while.
What is the issues which these job on the list? I understand #1, Director of Information Technology. I did that a decade ago and won't go back. Too much politics and not enough hands on work.
