/g/ what was your first IT job like? At my current job, I'm

My first IT job was sitting on a freezing office next to the servers and routinely going into other people offices and fix their computer related shit, which most of the time was an unplugged mouse or some sort of malware.

I wish I was unpacking boxes

>will literally be useless in the next couple of decades as robots will take over
>arts will always be necessary, unless one day we come up with a perfect 1:1 human android

I'm not even sorry for you my man

My first it job was a data entry at a laboratory from 2013 - 2015. It was pretty good, had my own office, but lots of stupid paper work. But got laid off when they were downsizing then the company closed a few months later. Now I work in IT for the police department.

Not first I worked in a bakery/confectionery at the time they did all their invoices payroll etc etc on one of them toy looking imacs the two machines would fail to boot on a regular basis can't remember the details
The second near proper one where my job changed from working on the line to involuntary I.t guy fucking good money was in the clock and piece time xp blue screen loops made a fucking killing in the off seasons
I now plead ignorance to everything

My first IT job was fixing various computers at my moms office. The office was disgusting and everyone smoked cigarettes inside.

My first actual tech job was as a web dev for a startup. I worked 60+ hour weeks and made maybe 500$ a week if I was lucky. Got to choose my own hours and work from home, so my life for a solid year was living at my parents house, rarely leaving my bedroom, and coding until I passed out at 5 or 6 am. My girlfriend at the time lost interest in me and I developed an opiate addiction. Left that job when the owner of the company was behind in paying me by about $3000, and I realized I'd never see that money. He ended up giving me shares in the company so that he didn't have to sell his house or something.

All the trouble was worth it, because thanks to that job, I had the necessary experience to start a real development job.
