The love of tinkering in an IT profession cannot be learned in an apprenticeship or during a degree course, says Patrick Fuchs. For his job as an IT specialist for system integration, the 28-year-old is well-advantaged by the fact that he is a real technology freak: I'm good at IT, computers, programming, servers and software, he says. And making music. A good work-life balance is more important to him than a top salary with his training: That's why he works in the public sector as an IT specialist at the university and is responsible for the entire web system and the applicant portal. If an error occurs, he has to search for it, find it and fix it as quickly as possible. Patrick's office is in Freyung in Lower Bavaria on the Technology Campus - from there he works on the university's system together with two developers. He has been employed there for 8 years and doesn't want to leave. Even if pretty lucrative offers are constantly pouring into his inbox. He is in demand in IT, even though he didn't study but trained as an IT specialist for system integration. Because you don't have to study for this job ... you have to be a freak, as he says himself, and simply be interested in the latest technology trends. #ComputerScience #Training #Salary By the way, here is Patrick's Instagram: www.instagram.com/patrickpatrone His band's Instagram: www.instagram.com/searchingforareply And here you can find the band on YouTube: / @searchingforareply Songs in the film TNT - ACDC La Grange - ZZ Top Born to be wild - Steppenwolf The weasley wtomp - Harry Potter Soundtrack Waitin for the bus - ZZ Top New lands - Justice I gotsta get paid - ZZ Top Don't stop believing - Journey The secret song - Searching for a reply Carry on wayward son - Kansas The Rock Show - blink 182 --- This is "Is it worth it?": A person, a job, a life.
