The Jack of All Trades and the CCNP

Let the Games Begin
Mar 18, 2026You've reached the end.
I remember when I was younger, I was really good at a few things that could become good career paths. A lady told me that being a jack of all trades is good but it doesn't lead to greatness. I used to think she was wrong. It's wild to me in hindsight how right she was. My journey in IT is proof. From tester to field engineer to more advanced titles and back to field engineer. I've been good. But I have not been great. I got into IT pretty early in my 20s, but I didn't really dig deep until much...
I figured that I should start by introducing myself, but then I realized I am still deciding on a name change. So, for now you can call me Bull or M D. A little about me: I'm 37, and my official job title is field engineer, although at work it feels like my unspoken title is Network Engineer. I get all the network upgrade projects, and I mean all of them. Do you have an unspoken title too? I live in the outskirts of Houston Texas and I'm currently studying for the Cisco CCNP.
