Come January 20th, I’m leaving the IT field, moving to Grand Cayman and extending my dive certification to include Dive Master so I can make a living in the islands…. That, or I’m gonna do like those CDW commercials and setup a datacenter in a tiki hut…

you know that there are many jobs that are thankless. ever go out and thank the garbage man for picking you your trash?

the problem with IT is that it is a specialized area. and your right about the demands. the trash man will not take a call at 3am to come and get your trash. with IT you will get that call.

i have thought about leaving IT for the past few months. i don’t know what else i would do though. i love IT. i feel that i have a nak for it. i could be fooling myself, but i don’t spend 16+ hours a day on a computer and hate it.

i have done computer stuff for free before. mainly because i just enjoy it. i’m not sure that i would be happy any where else. there are people that forced themselves to do IT, and i think that those might be the ones that are leaving, but i don’t know.

the burn out is true. you do get burned out. most IT last about 20 years. and it really depends on the demands that the person is under as well. i don’t think that you could stay where you are at for the next 10 years unless you have to, nor could i. staying at the level we are both at, i give us 5 to 10 more years before we say to hell with IT.

If you don’t already have an account, go get one now! Five bucks goes a L-O-N-G way at Amie Street. Much, much further than at iTunes, Amazon, or at the local record store….

Downloaded the entire album. I have to say that Eternal Flame is one of the best. The rest of the songs are good. They are above the not bad status. Maybe over time I will enjoy them more. I do look forward to hearing what else they have coming out. Also Gruntled. See if you can find one person this week to do Amie Street Music Wednesday. We need to try and get more people evolved if they would like to. Mouseclone's last blog post..Had a good weekend

I got mine as well a while back. I need to make a blog post about it and take some photo like you did as well. I will do it this weekend.

Cheers,
