After working in IT for nearly 20 years, I did take a few hiatus from it along the way, I am now moving into a career path that is less hands on and more think tank or intellectual. I am a senior system analyst.
I fear that after a couple more years of this I’ll have become an old fogey out of touch with the newer circles. I have seen this with others.
What can I do to stay current? A home network is nice but I do not have the problems of the workplace. Doing contract work on the side kills my evenings and weekends.
Should I just resolve to this as evolution and press on?
