They usually describe a role that appears much more difficult than the job actually is. So don't be put off by something that sounds like it may be above you.
Thanks for that advice man, I'll have to keep that in mind.
You know how to ask questions and where to get advice. You could pretty safely take any level of IT role and as long as you don't get cocky you'd pretty much be able to pop online, ask about anything and everything, and get shit done quickly enough that no one would suspect you were learning as you go.

Nope, this means your going to be getting reamed out by clients for things that aren't in your control.
really - what job in IT exists that this doesn't happen?
IT likely doesn't get reamed out at a mortuary. . .
So I think you are joking, but as someone who has done mortuary IT... you are correct. It's a laid back environment that I really like.
Yeah the joke is that the mortuary residents aren't yelling at IT to fix the WiFi.

I have some systems where people had a Windows 7 laptop and a desktop and will only be getting one or the other with Windows 10. So, some are two for one.
