What can I become in IT with my preferences?

Question

Career in IT

I will describe in detail:

I am very inquisitive and meticulous in details and all sorts of little things. I very often run from one area to another, everything is interesting, but I do not know where to combine all my preferences.

In general, I really love electronics, I love the Linux / Windows system - exactly how they are arranged and how they work (although I did not find out, but I want to know everything in detail). I like databases (databases), microcontrollers. I also want to thoroughly study computer networks, how it is implemented and all these protocols, perhaps I just know too little about these areas, so I want to "feel" everything. The Internet of Things (embedded/IoT) also entices me, and in general I like to understand any device to the maximum.

But here's the problem: Where can all this be useful?

I sincerely hate it when I don't understand what's under the hood of this or that device/language/project, etc. That is, I like the low level in programming (C, Asm). Sometimes it came to such an absurdity in order to understand how something works in a computer, then I studied physics and how electrons interact with all this.

Therefore, in what vacancies do they use all the things that I like, namely: electronics, physics, possibly matan, low-level programming, Linux / Windows administration, networks, databases?

As I understand it, this is already some kind of engineer for the development of something large, but I still couldn’t find where it is used. I would

like to know the opinion of where you would go with such preferences and what to study.

And I also want to be able to constantly solder something, set it up physically, etc., in short, don’t sit at the computer all day, otherwise I work as an IT content manager and for a year I’m normally so tired just sitting at the computer, I want to tinkering with the computer, hacking, configuring, creating, and also physically doing something, but at least sticking the same patch cords, if only not to sit at the computer all day.

Answer 1

Well, most likely you are most suited to work as a content manager.
Because, apart from your own view of your preferences, I see
"I run very often from one area to another,"
"although I did not find out, but I want to know everything in detail"
"I like to understand any device to the maximum "
" As I understand it, this is already some kind of engineer for the development of something large, but where it is used, I could not find it"
The desire to understand something to the maximum, usually leads to understanding something to the maximum.
You call it a habit, but still haven't mastered ANYTHING enough to get another job?
The desire to understand and the actual disassembly itself - well, you wanted to deal with databases - why didn’t you figure it out?
A development engineer for something big? Are you able to develop something small? Well, make at least a socket controlled by a web server. Because reading articles, watching vidyashki is NOT learning something to the maximum. This is a superficial introduction.
Therefore, at the moment I do not see who you could become. You have not shown skills, only Wishlist.

Answer 2

The same crap. Alas, the market forces you to go into one specialization, a rather narrow one, although in IT circles they value a broad outlook, this has little effect on the performance of everyday tasks.
Open your own business, drink your project, you will get great experience in all areas. Everything will be useful there.

Answer 3

When I worked as an electromagnetic compatibility engineer in an aircraft design bureau there:
1) there was a matan (Maxwell and all that)
2) there was a lot of work with a soldering iron (stands, everything). and not only her - there was a workshop with machine tools / guillotines, painting (exclusively in light gray), a lot of aluminum and wires for any purpose.
3) there was a lot of romance (sunset before the night shift at the aircraft parking lot, leather helmets, laryngophones, beautiful American green and Soviet headsets, like in the movies, keel-frame-langeron, stories of grandfathers how they hung out in Akhtuba under the general secretaries, etc.)
4) there was low-level work with hardware
5) there was a writing of own utilities
6) there were quite modern and cool computers (silicones) at that time
7) there was a lot of work time, in which you can satisfy your interests (I assembled a stand on which I conducted quite a lot of tests of various types of signal routes and the effectiveness of their shielding. (According to the reviews of former colleagues, then for five years they completely and partially inserted these materials into various reports on supposedly_done_works, changing the first and last sheet)
8) there was a lot of movement in the fresh air - install the antenna, conduct tests, drive to the parking lot and drive back on foot, etc.
9) it was interesting.
10) was a ridiculous salary. I remember exactly that in order to buy jeans, two of these salaries were needed.
if you are not interested in money, look for yourself in research institutes and other artifacts of the Soviet industry. suddenly love it.

Answer 4

Work is about labor and plowing, your opportunities and market opportunities.
Like and love it to women or hobby, leisure.
