- I work for a mental health nonprofit, largest one in the country at the moment. - I got into IT after being a warehouse worker and "being good with computers" there. I did air guitar to land my first IT job. - My current job is awesome because as a nonprofit everyone is very huggy-feely, lots of psychiatrists leading the way and whatnot. It is also awesome because I am given free reign to come up with solutions, design new systems and generally tinker with a home-built lab using old equipment I was loaned by this non-profit. - We get several different models of charity licensing from various vendors in addition to having some of the best negotiators around. A non-profit running all EMC storage, backup and replication? Pretty awesome. I love the work in general and would do it for peanuts, almost.
