So, tomorrow I'll be out of a job

Maybe not really as I still have three weeks of "vacation" to think some stuff over, but after that I'll (hopefully) start at a new place.
Having done 8 hours of screen-work for the past nine months (mostly programming), I've begun to wonder if this is the right kind of job for me. Now, the place I work in is an extreme place, where I have no colleagues other than my boss who has no interrest in software whatsoever and some assembly guy downstairs, but still, I'm affraid I might find the same kind of situation in other places. However, I have no idea what else to do.

So, GD, my request to you is to lay out my carreer path for me.

Re: So, tomorrow I'll be out of a job

Stick with what you know.

You can explore alternate careers later on, but I'd only do that once you're were solidly employed. Randomly deciding you're going to train to be a carpenter isn't going to be much good when you've got no real income to fall back on.

I know a couple of people who are tired of IT work but I think they've just got romantic ideas about what other types of jobs could involve.

Re: So, tomorrow I'll be out of a job

Become a consultant.

Seriously, the guys my work ocassionally get in get up to £500 per day for some basic coding (sometimes even stuff like Access), get to choose their own hours and also get treated with a lot more respect than a salaried employee.

Don't get me started on "shown respect" and "earned respect". Deep down everyone hates consultants.

There's that...
And they walk around in their neat suits talking nonsensical techno-babble that makes them look intelligent, but in reality they can't code for shit.

Good idea. I have no qualification- i just know a decent amount hardware/spftware and work as an IT consultant for two companies[both are small and i'm friends with the guys]. All i do is keep 'em virus free, fix the occasionalyy hardware/software prob, build custom machines etc. And I get €20-€40 an hour.

Think about what you could do- a guy with a formail qualification, far more knowledge, relevant experience....


And yeah I do work when I want to!

Consultancy is the path to the Dark Side. Quicker, easier, more seductive. But once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.
