What is is that scares IT people the most? Networking? Infrastructure? Firewalls? Layer 3 Switches?
Those all require education, training and experience. Expertise comes later integrating all of those. But no, none of those scare us the worst.
So is it operating systems? Windows, Mac, Linux, embedded systems? Updates, patches, applications from 3rd party vendors?
Those require a fair amount of experience and usually Tier 2 and Tier 3 Techs will specialize in variants for their companies and then share. But no, it's not the worst.
Wireless? Programming? Programming Languages? We really want to know what scares you all the most.
Printers. Printer errors terrify us and nothing will escalate up the Tiers faster than a printing problem. I've seen grown men cry.
