Good luck.
From one IT guy to another, you MUST keep those skill sets up to date and go for the
one's that are geographically stable (immune to out-sourcing/off-shoring). It’s tough, but
worth it in the long run. Now see what you can do about getting them to pay for it---

Gunner

They will pay for my paper, but I have to sign a two year agreement and a one year non-compete clause(or some such ****).........
My problem is time and never ending projects. 80+ hours this past week and the next two dont look any better. How in the
hell are you supposed to get training in with a schedule like that? I'm almost ready to ask my wife for a job in one of her
cleaning establishments----
There would be plenty of Hummer time then.........

I feel you there brother! Trying my damndest to get out of the IT industry as a whole myself .. the long days, the work at home bit, the on-call crap, it will never end in our industry once you get to this spot. Personally I'm fed up with it .. it doesn't leave any room for private life and you're expected to drop everything in case you're needed. Hell, I don't even remember what a vacation without cell phone, laptop, and constant calls feels like. Wouldn't mind experiencing that again!!!!

Well, if the gloom and doom forcasters are right, we won't have to make the decision to leave the industry. Someone else will do it for us.
Our old AS400 legacy programmers must feel real good everytime the walk past that damn "Sleeper Cell" Perot Systems sent us.
And.....I **** you not.....one of the dudes has a collection of comercial jet models in his freakin' cube ! ! ! !
Politically correct or not......that gang of three creeps me the hell out.....But..... they ARE some code writing bastards.

Oh I know. Our HD is out-sourced (what a joke). I have A+, N+, MCP, and my ***. degree, but Cisco is the way to go these days. I barely remember any of my networking stuff and I used to be so sharp in that. I should have stayed that route instead of Level 2. I appreciate the info though. ZYNE is a network guru also.

Damn ! ! ! Not only did we highjack the man's thread, we dumped buckets and barrels of woe and despair all over it.
