I have to interview someone in a career I am interested in, however, I don't know anyone in the IT field in real life. Will you guys please help me answer a few questions to the best of your ability. There are 12 questions, choose any and as many as you'd like to answer. I appreciate your time, thank you.

How did you get into this work? How did you become interested in this occupation?
What entry level jobs are best for learning as much as possible in skills and knowledge?
What do you do on a daily basis?
What do you like most about what you do? What do you like least about your job?
What are the most important skills you need for this job?
How do you measure your own success in your current job?
What is something you would like to see improve?
What things would you like to change?
What is the typical career path for advancement based on?
If you could start all over again in launching your career, what steps would yo utake?
Were you able to find a job relatively close to where you live? Do you commute, is remote work available in your position?
How long did it take to reach where you are in your career?

Thank you again for those that are able and willing to help me with this project. I am currently studying for my CompTIA A+ and Network+ certifications and would love to join the IT field.

*EDIT* Thank you to those that helped me with this project. I gained lots of insight into a path towards IT. I hope this post also helps others that have an interest in an IT career.
