and i went the opposite way
So did I, but I turned around and came back. When I was doing phone tech support, I probably got a bad reputation as somebody the younger techs should avoid because I was very impatient with them. After several years, I realized that I was being unfair because none of them had the experience to be aware of most of the things I thought were obvious. It took time and effort, but by the time the call center was closed and we were all laid off, my reputation was probably much better, and I was able to help some of them learn how to do things better.
Just remember, that there are lots and lots of things that you find intuitively obvious that many of the people on this list have never encountered. As an example, how many of you know why you can't get 56K speeds on a modem if the port has an 8250 UART? Or, for something more current, why can't you download a program on a Windows box, put it on a flash drive, then run it on your Linux box directly? Yes, the answer should be obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people don't know it.
I'm sorry to lecture, but something in your post struck a chord, and I had to let it out. I'll get off of my soap box and let you all get back to work.
