I spent 10 years doing 2nd line support. Wouldn't go back to it. The job in and of itself was OK, but management are utter dickheads. By management, I mean upper management. Useless pen pushers that wouldn't know a stick of RAM if you shoved it up their big fat noses.

Useless pen pushers that wouldn't know a stick of RAM if you shoved it up their big fat noses. Making decisons about things they haven't got the faintest idea about, and even when told something won't work, they insist it has to 'cos it's in the SLA. Well you shouldn't have put it in the SLA then you ****stick!
Anyway, I'm sure you'll enjoy IT. Go for it
Fully star out all swearing in future. Thank you.

Exactly why does management need to know what a stick of RAM is? I smell somebody with a chip on their shoulder.![]()
See my comments on your CV but what do you want to do? Answer phones all day, fix PCs in a small network with minor hardware or software issues or; install multi million £££ servers and networks into some of the largest organisations in the world.
If it is the first 2 then fair enough, if it is the latter then you need to get into one of the larger IT/Tech companies, preferably on their graduate schemes. For that you will need to get a good computer science / engineering degree at a decent uni, work very hard during the course and pick a year out in industry wisely.
Degree.
Decent placement.
Graduate programme somewhere.
Anything else and you'll end up stuck scrabbling about for sticks of RAM and plugging in cables unless you play a very good game.
