    I was just explaining to my girlfriend that people’s ignorance about computers provides a space where even people without advanced skills can make a decent living doing support.

    Like, not everyone can get a gig as an advanced sysadmin making bank, but you can probably find some tech support roles that pay really well to support folks who essentially think technology is magic.

      The other side of that ignorance is if you can do simple tasks they also assume you have the skills to be the next big-tech genius.

      The amount of times I’ve been asked to make someone a website or app…

        Oh, so you can Programm? Surely you know how to make this cool idea using AI I just had!

        Most people dont even know, that there are like 50 different fields that are somewhere in the space of IT/Programming and of these fields only a quite small amount of do develop apps or websites.
