What profession are you in? I feel like I got into the wrong one.

MSP tech consultant for law firms, working on becoming an IT director or CTO though.

I do things from basic tech support all the way up to rolling out and deploying firm wide software.

I would say that I'm pretty good about not only dealing with new issues when they pop up, but also with establishing practices that can be repeated by other people, diarizing and cataloging the common issues that the companies I work for encounter, and minimizing the mental overhead of technology so they can get to the work of doing their business of protecting or attacking on behalf of their clients.

And that sounds like jargon tech-speak shit, but I do everything in my power to back it up with action and with logs that other people can read and follow, even if they're not especially technical.

I started working for a mom-and-pop IT shop when I was in my early 20s, got my A+, started working for hospitals, and just ended up winding my way through the entire IT field. And the annoying thing is, is my whole life I wanted to be an engineer, lol, but I took IT jobs because I had bills to pay and I was good at it, so I just stayed with it.
