I’m fairly new to IT, but not new to working with computers. I recently earned my CompTIA Network+ after getting my A+ a couple of years ago. Right now, I work as a POS Field Service Tech, which I enjoy because it’s hands-on and lets me troubleshoot and fix things directly—but the constant driving and unpredictable schedule are starting to wear on me. I really like IT concepts like TCP packets, virtualization, and NFV, and I know I want a role that keeps me engaged and active rather than sitting behind a desk all day answering tickets. I’ve done Moves, Adds, and Changes work before, so I’m comfortable being physically involved, just not to the point of heavy labor or nonstop travel. What are some IT career paths or roles that offer that middle ground—something more involved and dynamic than support or help desk, but still consistent and balanced?
