re:10 reasons for quitting IT
Man-o-man, this is SO right!!
I am now at that stage where I am looking a a career change, but what stops most is the money, so if you know it's time to quit, you need to make sure your life is a little simpler - low mortgage, low living costs and low entertainment expenditure.
I have been in the gam e for just 15 years after 5 years of training and getting up to speed, whta I have noticed is that most IT guys say, they'll do some training and keep up with tplay, but never do, so in the end everyone will fall back in their abilities. But 20 years is a long investment and the rewards, well a fast-paced techno world means you either overwork or fall behind. I have concluded that a career change is probably the best way. I'll find something that I would like to do, but realise it'll be low pay, so there's the sacrifice. But the rest f you still on th up-and-up, prepare yourself for a career change by finding and developing an interest in something else that'll be your lifeline later on in life.
Heads up to those with the balls to change career, and no credit to those who stick it out due to pride - I'll be at your funeral whe you're 50!! Not meant meanly, just seems to be the trend!!
