Another opportunity - there are so many small businesses who need a tech person, but have no idea what to look for or haven’t admitted their needs yet.

If you show up saying you can develop apps and also manage servers, handle complaints, etc., they will often hand you a lot of responsibility to do things yourself.

Not great for advancing as an engineer unless you actively challenge yourself, but I’m just suggesting that it’s a field out there.

I did this for an education company. Been employed over a year, developed a few web apps for them, basically been handed keys to the kingdom, and they love my work.
