I just wanted to share with you fine folks that after 10 years in more or less the same job I have finally quit and am now entering a new field. You may recall that I worked at a movie theatre. I was hired back in 2005 while I was still in high school. I kept getting promoted, so I thought I had a decent shot at making a career out of it. I enjoyed it, so I figured I would be doing better than a lot of other folks.
I don't regret trying like I did, but it eventually became clear that the powers that be were not going to be offering me any opportunities to advance or grow for reasons beyond my control. I started going to school for a Cyber Security/Network Administration degree this semester and just got hired for an entry level position at Dell. Its a little bit of a pay drop, but I think getting relevant experience, especially so early in my education, is worth it.
