I'm a Software Developer.

When I was younger my family owned a local computer company supporting a range of customer sizes. At the time I recall saying to my Dad that I wasn't sure if I should be a programmer or an IT technician. He bluntly said, be a programmer there is no money in IT support.

That was late 80s, whilst at the time there was money in IT support, over the long term he was right.

I think doing what your family does helps, because you have people around you that know and can support you.
