Lots of times we heard: "My brother/sister/cousin... is a computer expert, he/she works in a big company"
Most times, he/she will break down our PC and then a real computer expert is needed (and very well paid).
In the last twenty years many people decided to become computer technician by reading a few magazines or manuals, most of this people today is between fourty and fifty years old and they think they are the most expert guy in their company.
More over, most of them has not completed any universitary career, even most of them never tried to start those studies.
Nowadays, we have two generations of "technicians": the older one who thinks they are the most expert in the company and the newest one, where most of them are computer engineers trying to adquire the work that they should own.
From my own, the first technicians has improved their jobs and they are now supervisors and managers of the new technicians. Some of this managers feels that their jobs are threatened by new technicians, who have more powerful updated knowledge; they feel can loss their jobs and need to fight this new technicians.
From my own experience, in the new generation of technicians there is high qualified smart people and others who are not smarter and qualified than other, that's very usual.
I saw many times how this medium-qualified engineers promotes their jobs and get major opportunities due to their manager feels lower danger to theirs jobs instead to promote a great engineer, due to this engineer implies a threat for their job status.
Just some months ago, my manager told us "You must do your jobs well or very well, but not excellent!, this is the way to improve in a company"
I hope you are not in this case because if you are a excellent engineer, you won't promote, due to "you are a threat" to your manager.
Nowadays, that's the difference between to be a computer worker or to be computer proffessional.
