Comment IT to blue collar (Score 1) 783

up untill about 2 years ago I was heavily pushing my career into IT, thinking that it was all I wanted to do. starting off as just PC repairs, Help Desk and stepping up to an Administration role I soon realised that it wasn't really for me. I always had the passion for IT and still do but did not enjoy the stress and pressures the job and further training always added. Not to mention having to do particular things that I did not enjoy particuarly how I only ever wanted to do was *nix based work but unfortunately it was very difficult to find positions that suited me. Since then I have swapped to a more blue collar / white collar job working for RFD Australia where I work alot with my hands doing much more physical work. Feeling much happier and more of a sence of accomplishment at the end of the day I am actually now making slightly more money now in a traineeship role than I was in my last IT job.

Today is actually today is my 364th day of Tech support for the third Largest ISP in Australia, To date i've had some big named people call me including a news presenter / sports commentator, band members, minister of states and so on just to name. They've all been great people to help and is often a delight to speak too and are happy for assistance. Only one guy tried to use his poltical status to bypass the need for password verification.
