early days
Well, love it ?, was exciting earlier in my career (over 30 years now), got to really do research when working on projects. was not real training or certifications for new technology back then, you either could grasp it and learn it or not. These are the real IT old school professionals. Now we are just task monkeys, and wishing I had started that other business wanted to long time ago when had the chance. I stay in this field only because I know it very well and make decent money.
One bad rap I can identify with, paid too much.
OK, I keep trying to say something but it all seems offensive, but going to say this anyway, there are those who can grasp it (it meaning anything or IT) and those who can not.
Seems those who can not get paid as much these days and not knowing it as well then gives the entire profession a bad rap.
There, said it
