Programmer or sysad?
Could also be data analyst, I'm also a professional googler.
At my last job interview, I was asked if I knew how to deal with this issue or that issue, and I said "in any case, I'm not an idiot. If there's an issue I can't resolve, there's plenty of videos and tutorials on Google and YouTube"
The guy's face told me he wasn't expecting that. But I got the job, so I guess it worked.
Made the most money in my life creating and editing power points.
I think I'd rather be homeless
Could be worse, two years of college, three years of university, ended up working as a valet for over a decade 🤷
4 year of specialized schoool to end in construction !!!
I'm a maintenance worker and I'm convinced that it's my communication, skills and ability to bullshit my way through emails, which has allowed me to have a career. I'm a master at giving you a long detailed email about an issue that you won't understand and make you think it was a lot more difficult than it was, and how lucky you are to have had me catch it. All my weekly reports are a digital trail of bullshit that makes me look good, but can't be proven false.
Professional success can be measured with the number of emails you send and the number of meeting you attend in a week. Direct correlation.
I also took meeting notes.
I spent 6 years in college. :(
So then go back, and do something different at college. It is not that hard to do. You did it the first time
