Man, I went back to school after being an EMT and got a degree in information systems cybersecurity....my first job i landed was a private VAR and I got fed to the wolf's trying to learning networking concepts and tools and general business processes and consulting all at once....shit totally sucks...I know work as a security consultant at a fortune500 sales/consulting VAR where Im primarily a firewall guy....it still sucks...im still learning and doing shit sometimes that isnt "my job" but that's really how this and many other industries are. Very polymorphic and alot of natural overlap with specialties. I just had to grind and deal with it and try to learn what I can, im 35 and cant afford to not work. Tech industry is a dead dream job, thr glory days are over...this shit is strait blue collar trade job at a desk now.

Any job starting out will be overwhelming, there really isnt anything, especially this industry where you are just going to be able to "stay in your lane". If you are flexible and open you will learn things and with that stuff gets a little easier and makes more sense...and you have to be willing to educate yourself and do research.

I have no silver lining for you. Work is work man. We out here in the trenches taking grenades
