I would be better at my job if I were technical.

Technology is changing so fast that knowledge about specifics can quickly become obsolete. That's why so much of what technicians learn is on the job.

You can do great things with low-tech stuff.

Very narrow areas of expertise can be very productive. Develop your own profile. Develop your own niche.

My career seems to be a career of non-specific subjects which are all over the place.

The key to understanding my career is that I was never into technology. From the beginning, I brought an outsider's point of view, which is why I write for a layman's publication.

I'm consumed with tech - medical, computational, impossible tech. So, I don't know exactly what I'll wind up doing, where I'll go with all this schooling, but I'm willing that it be better than my dogmatic vision of it all.

From my training I can get a good idea of what I'm capable of.

I'm trying to solidify a long-term career, because I have no other skills and no other abilities.

Technology is a nerdy field. That's why I called myself a 'geek.' It requires a lot of training and encouragement at a very young age.
