Have you found your niche in IT?

After 4 years of doing a bit of Help Desk, Information Assurance, and some networking, I landed a new job a few months ago as a sys admin managing a 90% virtualized environment using VMware.

I absolutely love it. Never have I found joy in the work that I am doing as much as I am now. I think this will be my niche/specialization! Whats your niche and how long did it take you to find it?

I've come to see that a lot of people are not using PowerShell (at least at the last few places that I've been over the years), so when I come in, I'm able to perform the work of a lot of people with scripts.

Right! Its kind of crazy how many don't use Powershell more. So useful!

IMO, I think the initial learning curve can be difficult. PS is easy when you see a few cmdlets piped together, but just like anything else, it can become very deep. I've found that people are interested when it's a few cmdlets that instantly return results, but they don't want to invest the time when it's a full blow script. More opportunities for me

Scripting for me

Its always fun to figure out how to automate certain tasks. Powershell, Batch, VBscript, etc
