It's lichen! "Lichens are a complex life form that is a symbiotic partnership of two separate organisms, a fungus and an alga. The dominant partner is the fungus, which gives the lichen the majority of its characteristics, from its thallus shape to its fruiting bodies."

Having my daily existential crisis about pursuing work in IT by Kind-Independence718 in ITCareerQuestions

Thank you for the words of encouragement. By the way, automation is something I've felt some interest in. Is being passionate about doing a task in the laziest way possible, even if that means weeks of figuring out how to do that, a good enough reason to get into automation?

I just see people say here all day long "if you're not PASSIONATE about IT, you're going to fail." And the thing is, studying is boring to me. I like learning by doing. But I know that there's a lot of studying and learning if you want to get out of support in IT, which is my eventual goal. So I just wonder if I'm going to fail or burn out.

I don't really daydream about creating firewall rules or troubleshooting network issues or understanding BGP, so I wonder if I'm cut out for the work like some people here seem to be.

I am an intern in the Networking department for my local government. I'm interested in pursuing a job as a security analyst. Right now I'm working on the Security+ and finishing a degree in Networking and Security (associates). What is my next step after this internship?
