I started military doing satcom work, went to school for cybersecurity & linux system admin, got a job doing network engineering and hardware stuff (technician type work mainly, designing how to setup network in a building and then actually running & terminating the cable, both glass and copper).
Now I work as an electrical engineer and do a lot of logic programming with microcontrollers (arduino-like stuff) and PLCs. My background with IT made this a really easy transition, especially since messing with electronics has been a hobby all my life. I never wanted to get into programming, I found scripting to be the limit of how deep I wanted to get into the world of coding, just basic automation of tasks and things. And what I do now is pretty much exactly that, along with a lot of other fun things to me.
