You seem to be in the right place! There are so many IT guys/developers, musicians and I even saw a couple of people taking care of bonsai trees :)
Welcome on Steemit! You look like a guy who has a lot of experience and funny stories to tell so I'm looking forward to seeing you around.
Whenever I see a new person coming here I advise them not to focus on financial rewards but to build their network first. It is important to post as often as possible and engage with other people.. the great way of doing that is joining some communities and taking part in contests. Joining discord groups is always a good idea too :)
I wish you a lot of fun and success here :)
