My profession is in programming. Initially, my dad tried to teach me Javascript. It was a struggle and couldn’t get it.
A few years later, I took up computer science in college and that’s where it all clicked: I can imagine the end result. It’s a matter of being curious and finding (or I daresay… hacking) my way to that conclusion. Programming languages have a very funny way of allowing you to do just that. In studying computer science, I discovered the art of engineering all kinds of software-based solutions.
Because my way of solving problems is more deductive than inductive, I have to consciously build foundational knowledge and routines. Constant learning and insatiable curiosity is required for me to identify when my hunches are wrong and discard them accordingly.
I’m a Microsoft 365 admin. It’s the easiest job I’ve ever had and it pays 6 figures. I don’t even have a bachelor’s, but no techie person likes Microsoft 365 so they avoid it like the plague, which I saw as an opportunity.
What
Where do I apply ???
Just search for “Microsoft 365 Admin” jobs. Glassdoor lists the range as 88k-131k. I’m in a low cost of living area, so I assume bigger cities would pay even better.
