I like being the it person. I would rather tackle a problem than leave someone else to struggle with it. It makes me hate software especially software that doesn't play nice with other software.
In one of my IT classes in high school we have a network (not connected to the internet) we we told to setup a printer on the network. My group managed to print to a printer on a different network.
I tell anyone who asks that my consultant rates are $300/hour with a 4 hour minimum - and that I have a specialization in cloud architecture and ops stuff.
For some reason, people with printer/windows/Facebook/phone problems suddenly change the subject...
