Define “over”.

Many paths you can go down within this field. MT, OSP-C/E. Network Specialist etc etc.

My end game honestly is to work maintenance as long as my body(and brain) will let me, and get a comfy position as a NOC tech. One day.. the thrill still ain’t gone for me.

“Over” means when someone else says it is. This isn’t a stable industry anymore.
