Short story - been in sales since I finished University, always in a tech field of some sort.
I am tired of this and really don't want to be doing it in another 20 years - I have no desire to move up into a sales management position, so am looking at doing a 180.
I love technology and enjoy working with the IT guys, so am thinking of moving over into that field, specifically looking at Network Admin, UC specialist roles.
A few questions for people in that field:
1) Do you enjoy the work?
2) What are the main stress points you experience on a regular basis?
3) Coursework/certification - I am looking at CCNA, MCITP certs - would I need CompTIA A+ as well? Should I take a year course at SAIT on something like: Technology Infrastructure Management ?
4) Any other areas of IT I should look at?
And general question - I am in my early 30's - not too late for a career change, is it???
Thanks!
