Academic Technology Solutions Support Specialist

I had a gig with a similar job title for a while. It was mostly putting content onto the LMS and fixing stuff on the LMS after faculty went in and messed it up or decided they wanted to change something. I was also a teacher and this type of work appealed to me because I was able to make approximately the median gdp per capita in the US, which was a substantial raise. After the first semester of doing it, I got laid off along with everyone I worked with, but I found a better job that pays more that's related to my background that makes heavy use of what I had been working on in the gig described above.

Any ding dong can learn how to use the basic function of an LMS, but if you're interested in coding at all (e.g. front end web development, Python), then it has been my experience that this type of work provides opportunities to develop those skills if you're proactive about it.
