Returning to my roots
Ξ March 5th, 2010 | → 0 Comments | ∇ General |
I’ve been doing some thinking lately. I’m a hardware guy and always have been. I used to read the several hundred page Computer Shopper every month it came out. My first computer repair was hardware related (I diagnosed and replaced a bad cdrom controller card). I’ve always been in a role of hardware related tasks (assembly, diagnostics, recommendations) and I like doing it. I scored higher on hardware than software on my A+ certification.
Since moving on to doing my own thing, I’ve neglected my passion. I never found enjoyment answering the phone and talking to people about their office software or their exchange box not working. I am not as good at that as other people that specialize in “I.T.” and those in “I.T.” can’t touch me in hardware.
I want to return to my roots. I don’t want to pretend to be a server guy or your office guy anymore. The problem I have is I don’t currently know of a way to make what I do into something I can do without an established company. I’m not sure I’d want to work for another company anyway, none of them have used the full extent of my abilities.
Maybe there is something out there that I’ll find or that will find me, who knows. I figured it would make a nice blog posting anyway since I don’t post many of them.
Here is what CareerDirect said about me. I agree with it and my wife strongly agrees with it.
