    Because it actually can help.

    I have light switches that don’t turn on main lights when I walk into the house. Smart devices allow me to be physically safer in my house.

    I can have my ac system not run full blast when I’m not home, I can save money.

    I can see who is at my door and communicate with them without physically opening the door, therefore, I don’t have to draw my gun if stuff is sketchy.

    Think about disabled people, they can easily control their space with just about any device.

    I am NOT a defender of big tech, but there are use cases where it can improve your life immensely.

    Yes. And then polish up your resume. Work experience can trump age/even certs sometimes.

    This is an awesome moment in interviews to let them know you try to head off problems before they start.

    You said you were young, so you might not fully know your own worth yet. I’d rather hire someone who is forward thinking and preventing problems then someone who might have a cert or 2 more than you.
