learnteachWhat do I want to do? What do I need to get?
....one observer said that I don't have what it takes to work in high tech. That opinion is worth what it cost me; I have a higher refusal of crap than that particular person, and also a less inflated opinion of both tech and myself. But even given that...
Need: Money to live on, to do things with, to pay for roof and bowl and bandage: the health care thing is big, of course.
Need: Involvement with people. Sitting alone in the dark I can do, and do well, but not for long periods of time. But also need to be able to play with ideas/technology.
In a test a long time ago (Tymnet) I came out as a mix, but mainly auditorial (I care that the system and the facts are right) and an expressive (art matters) but not a social (everyone must be involved) or an authoritarian (I need to make decisions.)
I like to work with systems and how they affect people.
I like to travel. I'm good at Sales Engineering (provably) and tech support, bad at database programming (too much time in the room alone) and ..
Note: No technology noted. None that required. I do like systems over either hardware or software.
So, it's the people. Now, must find a new job...out of money, which means no bowl, bandage or bandinage.
