IT is actually a vast field with many many specialties similar to medicine. Asking the copier guy why your server is down is kinda like asking a podiatrist why you're sad all the time.
Ive always compared it to trades. Like, asking a plumber to fix your light switch or something.
That I will ignore 30 years of accumulated knowledge and experience - and all the relevant laws - just because they really really really want me to build something their way, and that they tell me it’ll be fine. If an experienced professional says “no” there is a good reason for that… we’re not just being obstinate.
That it all used to be like this.
What field is that?
Green.
A comedian huh?
People who think the earth is flat. I work in geographic information systems.
Fair enough! Tell them it's actually half empty! I can see your point. So they are trying to get out of paying for a double!
