So I am happy being an IT Professional but the pay at my current company kinda sucks. I got a raise but only 3% of my annual salary. So I started look at other jobs and sending out my resume. I applied for a career as a Systems Engineer. Well weeks later the emailed me and set up an interview. The interview went very well. The fact that I don't have a degree did not effect anything,after all he called me for an interview. What impressed the company so much was my 20 years as an automotive technician. I was like "What". They said it proves to them I have very good trouble shooting experience. They also liked how I ran my own home pc repair business. I have been praying so I hope this job pans out. The pay is twice as much as I am making now. Cross your fingers.
