Most of us gravitated to IT partly because of our ‘wiring.’ Without getting into male/female or left-brain/right-brain or emotional/logical debates, many of us are just plain different from the rest of the world. Logically, then, there are non-IT careers out there to which we may be constitutionally better suited than others.
Consulting, for one’s own business or another’s, is a perennial alternative to the daily IT-shop grind. But lots of other things have also popped up in many TR discussions. My goal for this thread is to gather into one place some ideas for those who have found, or who are seeking, or who are just curious about, career alternatives.
What else have you found or do you know of or do you think may be well-suited to the IT-minded? Why and how?
