ex-IT? what do you do now?
I heard so many stories about school IT, I've never been on one though. the most baffling thing I heard from coworkers that came from usual office IT and moved to school IT was that there was no respect for the profession and the amount of entitlement from users are really un imaginable.
These days I fix cars for a living. Same shit different setting really. You're still chasing gremlins while the end user stares at you through the window. I find vehicle repair more enjoyable and more fulfilling than printer repair though. At least here I get to meet a person and directly improve their life in a measurable way instead of just generally keeping the rat race running at Corpo Inc.
I never did school IT, only corporate, though I did sort of hang around the guys who did in high school. I didn't really see the inside politics of that though, since they weren't students, they didn't tell me much about that.
