That is pretty broad statement there Dan.
It also comes across - since you said you were in that situation - thinking that you are smarter than everyone you work with/for.
From your previous posts I wouldn't have thought that was your attitude.
Maybe you meant that these people who are angering you aren't 1/5th as smart as you are about computer or IT stuff?
The second bolded statement is what a lot of people are saying about the airlines right now; yet you wish to pursue a career in aviation correct?

I don't feel this way about 'everyone'. I'd say a good 10%, but it only takes 1 bad apple to ruin your day because their wrath more than compounds over the other 90%. I'd say 98% of our problems come from 2% of our users, and it somehow is always IT's fault (according to them). But the ones that feel that way about me (5 times smarter deal), or IT people in general, I feel that exact same way toward them. Work in the field for 5 years and trust me, you will know what I mean. These are the same people that are always at the ticket counters EVERY flight complaining to the poor gate agent about nothing just trying to get over or get something for free. The same people that treat waiters and waitresses like prison inmates, or basically anyone in the service industry that they never had to work in . Same personality type - this is how they became VP's to begin with - walk on everyone around them to climb the ladder themselves (If they weren't already born into it, which most of them are). I am the furthest thing from a snob or pretentious that you can get... Blue collar upbringing - finally finishing my degree now - at 25. So trust me, I am way above that whole thinking anyone is better than anyone nonsense.

This goes way beyond computers or technology. Things lacking like common sense, respect, thinking us 'regular folk' don't realize their true intentions or deceptions and rubbing it right in your face because you have to bite your tongue... If computers didn't exist, it would just be something else they think they are 'above'.
About aviation career. I still kinda do... But I'm not getting any younger, and my bills aren't getting any lower. So I don't know if it's gonna happen. Especially if the first 5 years of the career remain below poverty line pay.
