A lot's been said about imposter syndrome and how valid it is, and the gods know I've experienced my fair share of impostor syndrome over stuff I can do, but I'm currently, despite lacking any reasonable qualifications, applying for tech director of a school because the HS principal thinks I should and nothing more, so I'm gonna call these thoughts reasonably valid
The principal, for what it's worth, does have a degree in CS, so it's not like she doesn't know what she's talking about, but I'm not sure her evaluation is 100% accurate. But knowing I have her behind me, and being relatively certain I'd have the current tech director behind me, I may as well. I mean, if I do get the job, that'll be a pretty decent paycheck, so...
Don't get me wrong. If I get the job, I can definitely do it. But it'll be a very rough start. I am not qualified to do this. I have very little experience in school IT and none in actually running the show. Like I said, if I get the job, I can work things out, but it'll be a heck of a fucking time
