Has anyone made a career pivot? If so, how old were you when you made it?
@BruteNerd I used to bounce between IT and development, but that's the largest pivot I've done. Well, I spent a year doing Quality Assurance, but WOW did I suck at that. It was probably because I hated it with the fire of a thousand burning suns. Ran back to IT pretty quick after that.
@BruteNerd Are you thinking of pivoting?
@mike @BruteNerd I did a stint at QA, but it was monitoring call center techs. Here is my pivot history w/ approximate ages:
20: 1981-1988 - anything/everything
27: 1988-1994 - secretary
34: 1995-2000 - call center for Internet co.'s
40: 2001-2011 - Desktop support/I.T.
53: 2014-2015 - freelance front-end web dev
55: 2015-2017 - Desktop support/I.T.
