I worked in research and development for IBM. Working with business partners and large accounts understanding their tech needs and applying IBM technologies to their solutions. For the last 10 years before I retired, I worked out of my home. Traveled the world and worked on some cool projects ..
The IT world is always in need of savvy people who can understand the technicalities and relay them to management types who just want a solution they can understand without all the nerd talk that goes with it..
You would be amazed at how smart people can be so stupid when it comes to real world stuff.
I started out as an assembler coder back in the 70's. there were only a handful of us in the country who could code 360 assembler. Coding now is more a commodity and farmed out to other countries.. Knowing how to communicate between developers and the architects is a good place to be.. But it's not an entry level position you just apply for.. The IT world is forever evolving and in need of good people..
I retired 5 years ago on my 55 th birthday.. Management was being taken over by the bean counters and work wasn't fun anymore.. So I got out.. Now I play with my investments and my toys.. Work is overrated!
Start somewhere.. Do it to your best ability... It will all come together someday..
I went to automotive and diesel college right out of high school.. Decided about 6 months after that I didn't want to be a mechanic all my life.. So.. I tried something different.. No regrets.. Good luck to you..
