IT and Glamour
How's this for glamour:
I've met two US Presidents (Bush, Clinton), William F. Buckley Jr, Bill Gates, Hank Aaron, Yogi Berra, Bob Costas, Howard Reynolds and Mitch Williams.
Larry Ellison called me a bad name (quite the kudos, considering I was working for Microsoft at the time and just beat out Oracle for a deal at one of their marquee accounts).
I've spoken at industry events.
I've helped companies save tens of millions of dollars.
I've worked in London, Amsterdam, and various locations within the United States.
I paid cash for my daughters education and feel like my retirement is fairly secure any time I'd like to exercise the option. I have the cash on hand to help out friends and family.
Its hard work, with long hours and challenging situations. There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch. The industry isn't for everyone. But if you are into solving problems and constantly learning, there are few better industries to be in.
