Greetings,

There's only one possible source for the "best" advice for YOUR career direction. That source is your own heart. It's really quite simple - turn your dreams into goals. The only trick is to make sure you give your goals deadlines. Break down large and long-term goals into smaller, more measurable ones. And make sure everything you do - and think about - is taking steps forward towards those goals. Obstacles will be easily overcome if you remain focused on those goals. And, I mightadd, your limits are defined by no one but yourself. The IT focus you ask about will define itself once the journey to your new career begins.

I could offer you two other "tips". Treat everyone you meet as though they are the most important, regardless of who they are. Save (and invest) 20% of your income. If you do, you'll be free of money constraints by the time you're 40.
