Stop getting mad at normalfags. If you really want to be a better person, then try to reach the elitism of /g/ while staying self conscious of your social skills and appearance. Focusing on being singularly good at technology can only limit your worldview (and thus problem solving skills), make you messy, and paint you as unemployable.

This has happened to me time and time again. I had a couple of friends at uni who also cared about IT. I wonder what they do now.

Most of the people I know in IT actually don't like it. They are frustrated (insert shit career) who couldn't find jobs in their fields or their parents didn't like their career choice.
>>
>>47077744
It happened to me twice, first time was big corporate german company (big purple T). Although we were linux admins, we were forced to use windows laptops with putty and shitty ticket tool. Most of the people who went there did it because company invested fuckload of money into HR and management positions and they wanted to get those positions.
Second time I worked for big us corp, unix/linux admin, forced to use shared desktops with windows XP and their shitty tool which was fork of putty , it sucked because they took everybody, even people who just said that they are capable of installing windows and updating chrome got hired.
Now I am employed in small local webhosting company (about 30 people all toghether) and only people who have some skill and interest are hired. The salary is not great, actually it is lower than in big corporations but at least you are around people who do care about IT, optimatization of stuff and shit.

More and more should be as time goes on.

I'll be completely honest: computers and networking are cool. Is it as cool when you have to do it at the demand of a computer illiterate exec and your paycheck rides on his satisfaction with a solution he can't understand? Not so much, but the actual mechanics of IT are pretty fun when you're not under someone's thumb.

You'll most likely never find someone as deep into technology as you in real life unless you have known them from childhood.

Most people on /g/ are shy introverted people that wont speak out.

If you want to be happy in life, you should stop being an uptight fuck and loosen up a bit. What hardware/software people use is not relevant and will only make you seem like a fucking asshole whenever you bring it up in a negative way.

Haters get hate, that's the real world.

IT is a career field like any other as for as employment demographic. Most place es actually avoid hiring people like the ones OP wants because in the event you have to be in some position ( be it dealing with a customer ect) where you represent the company, they don't want you making them look bad. They also want you to get along with the rest of the staff.
>>
>>47080492
The problem is that when it comes to computer systems, most execs have insane ideas about deadlines and effort. Like they think if you get 9 women together, you can make a baby in 1 month.
>>
>>47082878
thats when you convince the other 9 women that the exec is retarded and the only way you will all keep your job is if they all pitch in on a mock baby that will last 8.5 months while you get a normal baby being made in that time and swap them out on the 9th month.

Cmon. Its simple stuff, anon.

You got some good point. To be honest, IT work isn't even that difficult to learn. It just takes times to practice. The MOST difficult part is just to get indoor.

>They are frustrated (insert shit career) who couldn't find jobs in their fields
Well, I noticed a lot of my IT peers have this high expectation of believing that they will get a high paying job right after college/university. Ironically, IT is more like the combination of business and technology. In my opinion, IT CAN be a flexible career if you know how it works. The possibilities of implementing IT in the field of business is actually quite dynamic. However, if you are one of those guy who is not even interested in this field of career and just want to make quick buck, you simply won't make it.
