    It's evident that you don't know the different between a Computer Science Engineer and a Mechanical Engineer.
    Worse, you don’t know what IT is. Look around you and pay attention.

    Are you a sockie?

    The skillsets I have/had enabled me to purchase the properties over the years.
    And just because you don't have the intellectual capacity to understand concepts, doesn't make them buzzwords.
    I wish you well, but don't hold out much hope - I fear you may be too cretinous.
    Good luck.

    Yup you don't have a fooking clue, that's why you're not successful.
    You've alway been at the bottom of the food chain and are unaware there's even a top

    Internal mobility. Asking. Moving to a company that has it - asking the correct questions at interviews helps with that.

    I worked with a guy who started on helpdesk and moved into second line support. 15 years on (purely coincidence) he was working in penetration testing as a natural career progression through servers and security thereof. According to the CIO when I was having a pint with him one evening, they have to be very careful if they decide to sack him or he could carry out some serious independent penetration testing and nobody could prove it was him!

    Then you get a new job.

    Lots of people who don't get promoted with more money get a new job.
