Fame
To the people you work with, you're a rock star. A savior of lost files. A phenom of failed faxes. You might not be able to do some of the things they do, like create an ad campaign or plan a splashy PR event, but you're fine with knowing what a PBX system is and how to set up a new one. And no, a PBX is not an extreme version of a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich. But if you have a recipe for such a sandwich...let us know.
As a telecommunications technician your fame inside the office is legendary. Outside the office? Not so much. If it's real fame you're after, put that big ol' brain to work and invent a backyard laser barbecue grill or a USB-powered gnat zapper so people can use their laptops outside in peace. Then, go on Shark Tank.
