Useless at being a user

Some back story.

I have worked in IT for around 10 years and are pretty skilled at most stuff and what i dont know i learn super quickly. I'm educated IT Supporter abseloutly smashed every exam etc

And now i work as a IT Consultant with Infrastructure management

Before i came to that role i worked as a IT Supporter (or whatever it was, i did repairs on ATM,Cash registars, screens and stores + more) i did help quite a lot of people yet i learnt it at the same time as they did. Did that make some strange situations? Yep oh yep.

Yet i'm still the abseloute worst user of software.

Like i know i can setup storage,servers etc in production big enivorments and stuff but i dont do it myself at all, and even sometimes i cant even manage to work in Word or Excel.

I know why we use VLAN, Good passwords etc etc, yet i still dont use it even if it's something of my own personal shit and business shit. Heck even today i managed to do a ametour fuck up, i had a VM with a public IP. Used VNC to get it installed etc, but didn't think to set a password on, then someone just randomly took over the mouse and i knew instantly what had gone wrong. This is something i say to my customers every single day yet i dont even do it.

I feel like it's hard to give support when i even dont know myself what the hells going on sometimes specially with Windows 11 shit.

Thoughts over

Thanks if u read any of it 😛

Maskinmester - IT Supporter

Hey Reddit!

Jeg er næstne lige blevet uddannet IT Supporter men er træt af IT Faget så overvejer at gå til Maskinmester uddannelsen.

Men orker ikke at skulle gå tilbage til SU. Er det normalt at kunne forhandle sig til en alm fuldtidsløn under uddannelse? Eller skal jeg bare spare op også lock in?
