Growing from Tech support role to a Development role. Choices?
Hello 4 years in technical support. 1st line, 2nd line, exposure to being teamlead. SQL, virtualization related, current role connected to z/OS monitoring product. I am considering for myself which next step to take. Variants that I am considering: 1. Java software development. 2. Automated testing. 3. AGILE/SCRUM or direction towards PM. 4. z/OS Systems Programmer, as my duties now allow me to scratch the surface of that world. I am absolutely confident in my soft skills. My bachelor and masters are social sciences and management. All what I know in IT is what I've learned through jobs and certifications in Cloud and Mainframe. My tech knowledge is always updating. But in some areas I have sufficient gaps. Please advise as to what better navigate to. Shall I pursuit Development role as more interesting and rewarding? But longer to gain competence. Shall I go into automated QA as something easier to switch to? But less interesting and less rewarding than QA Shall I build up my skills towards system programming? To went here might require dedication, meticulousness and perseverance at extreme degree. How to question myself is SCRUM/PM is my stuff? I want to get advice from proffessionals who had similar forktree choices in life. Personally I do incline more towards Java Developer. Reason why Java - code that can be run anywhere and more easier to learn.
How do you decide between two jobs which are complete opposites?

I'm also a very emotional person and I've always struggled mentally so I've always wanted to give everyone the mental support I've never gotten.
How often should I reach out to my Academic Advisor ?
I think it is a great idea for me to establish great communication with my Academic Advisor so I can keep on taking the necessary course for my degree. Not only that but I have been given great personal and professional advice and resources. I don't want to overstep my boundaries by asking a ton of questions all the time, but I would like to utilize as many resources, advice, and opportunities as my advisor can provide me.

How do people ensure themselves a financially stable future? How can I as well?
For example, I was always confused how people automatically move out of their parents' house and start supporting themselves right after receiving a job. When someone starts working, I always feel that it may be too early to start finding a home since a person wouldn't have too much money to begin with. Can anyone explain why this happens? I will try to clarify if anyone is confused. #finance #jobs #employment #support #houses
