Network Engineering Careers: Pre-IT Jobs and Career Pivots
About this episode
In this episode, Andy and A.J. discuss the jobs they had prior to getting into tech, and the decisions that ultimately led them to an IT Career path. You’ll hear the paths we almost took, why we ended up not taking them, and how Andy burned a car to the ground. Yeah, you read that right.
Aaron has been busy but rests assured he will return soon, and Dan lost power just before we were scheduled to record. Life happens. Enjoy this episode from A.J. and Andy.
