I bellyflopped over to a completely different section of IT needs and I am middle-aged. Partly, I think I was motivated (or anti-motivated) because I did not want to go through another round of what I call "disposable learning" at my last job, wherein I would learn something completely ephemeral and not carry any of it forward five years later. In retrospect, I believe my then-boss was practicing on some scheduling platforms that would appear in his next job. We had one ticketing/scheduling/org conglomerate, and then the whole organization was scheduled to hit something else in nine months, but he wanted to try out this thing in the meantime, even though we would get four months with it. Also more frameworky business. Just churn churn churn.
