Switching careers. What do you think?

by optimistic maverick . Updated 17 years, 1 month ago

Hey guys,

I have recently graduated from college with a degree in computer science, and by the grace of God, I’ve been working at a software development firm for the past one and a half year. Recently, somehow, I’ve developed an affinity and liking for “other” job descriptions, ones that are more focused more towards mainstream business areas, such as marketing, operational management, finance, etc.

Now I know that the two careers are completely opposite to each other, and this is a huge leaps towards the unknown. But, somehow, I feel that I am more tilted towards these areas, apparent by the fact that my soft skills (communication, presentation, organizational skills) are certainly geared towards them.

So, guys, what do you think? How many of you are really tired of the hectic, strenuous and demanding schedules that have really become the part and parcel of the IT sector? How many of you are seriously considering the possibility of switching your careers?

Thanks.
