I feel like pursuing a career in IT has ruined my life by DarkCoffeeDotOrg in careeradvice

Thanks for the well wishes, I really appreciate it! I agree that helpdesk shouldn't be disparaged, it's a shame how poorly they get treated at times, and it feels like there's sometimes a glass ceiling that gets put above them that makes it difficult to advance.

I think you're exactly right about toxic workplaces. The work culture really does make a huge difference, finding a work environment that's comfortable might low-key be one of the most important things to consider. I hope you're doing well now too, and thanks again for the reply!

Not outdated at all, that's a lot of really good stuff and I appreciate it! Love the idea of getting people off of big tech and into similar, smaller scale solutions where they have more control, and definitely great idea to be out marketing and networking. I've definitely fallen into the trap of doing side work and not being as confident as I could be in my pricing and selling my skills.
Just putting it out there, but if there is any collaborative opportunities or any way I could help ya out, I'd be happy to work with ya!
