    Considering I’ve been doing this stuff for over a decade and have met less than a handful of people with the same technical expertise as I have, and I haven’t met anyone that’s more skilled… I’m pretty sure I should be making at least 6 figures… Nobody will pay that much for what I do.

    I’m not trying to brag or anything. It’s just that I keep ending up in the position of having to educate everyone around me on how things actually work, and how to fix them. I spend more time in the bowels of Windows operating systems that the registry makes sense to me.

      Damn that really sucks. I’m sorry you aren’t appreciated for your skills and have to take on the role of teacher instead of doing your actual work.
