I started in development because I had websites I made and ran but didn't profit and had expenses.

There I learnt to be a sysadmin and went to MSP support.

As a sysadmin I relied on networks more and more and became a netadmin and that evolved to network engineer then architect.

I worked in startups and kept evolving until I looked down on those "professionals" that stayed dependent specialist. The back and forth to just identify an issue was all lazy waste to me.

Now I'm studying electrical engineering because there's lots of opportunity to scale tech but not enough supply of trade professionals that support the fundamentals.

I also wanted a role that didn't require several specialist to concur simple decisions of my daily job.

Tech is full of specialist that lack a general understanding of the principles they interact with. I needed to avoid being dependent on their approval for any matter
