Could also be data analyst, I'm also a professional googler.

At my last job interview, I was asked if I knew how to deal with this issue or that issue, and I said "in any case, I'm not an idiot. If there's an issue I can't resolve, there's plenty of videos and tutorials on Google and YouTube"

The guy's face told me he wasn't expecting that. But I got the job, so I guess it worked.

Made the most money in my life creating and editing power points.

Moved into management years ago. More money? Sure. But I regret it from the bottom of my heart.. IDE's > Powerpoint....

I tried management a few years ago, never again. The money ain't worth it

For real. I have always been able to pick a project to still spend time coding.

Could be worse, two years of college, three years of university, ended up working as a valet for over a decade 🤷

Professional success can be measured with the number of emails you send and the number of meeting you attend in a week. Direct correlation.

I'm a maintenance worker and I'm convinced that it's my communication, skills and ability to bullshit my way through emails, which has allowed me to have a career. I'm a master at giving you a long detailed email about an issue that you won't understand and make you think it was a lot more difficult than it was, and how lucky you are to have had me catch it. All my weekly reports are a digital trail of bullshit that makes me look good, but can't be proven false.

I also took meeting notes.

I spent 6 years in college. :(

So then go back, and do something different at college. It is not that hard to do. You did it the first time
