@theresatagonmyshirt @Siphonay very true. started as admin then IT worker in finance, then broadcast engineering in late 90s (almost a dream job that turned into a nightmare), then finance and IT systems for UK Govt (environment ministry), and more recently IT manager for healthcare.
Alas, the "cool/fun" jobs and where the economic stability is are often in different places, so try and enjoy your youth as well whilst you can..
@theresatagonmyshirt @Siphonay wasn't as glamourous as it sounds, mostly configuring and supporting embedded systems used for automated switching of audio and video circuits in TV and radio studios. A bit like a telephone exchange but higher bandwidth analogue data involved. Mixture of PC applications communicating with 68000-series CPU controllers. This tech is nowadays superseded by IP-based distribution..
@vfrmedia @Siphonay curious to hear more abt that broadcasting job
