    Oh why didn't I go to uni when I was younger? It really bites discovering your goals when you're in your 30s.

    Incidentally, I saw a job vacancy this morning for a system engineer. It was an entry level tech job paying $AU35k. Go figure.

    Nice to see my job in the top 50.
    An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made.

    Looks like my mid-term goal, to be an IT Project Manager, ranks pretty highly (#5). Eventually I want to work my way up to CTO, but it looks like I'll be in good company in the mean time.


    Now I just need my PMP and MBA.

    I think other factors aside from "lack-of-stress" are bringing up the IT positions icon_lol.gif
