After 14 years of different levels of computer support and helpdesk, from setting up AS/400 terminals to admining a variety of server types and everything in the middle...I've reached an odd point. Sometimes I wonder if I'm just unlucky, but I have never worked in a place where the users were tech savvy. If anything most seem to be going backwards. I spend more time now holding a user's hand than I ever used to. And after all these years burnout is settling in. Sadly, unless you move beyond anything in the even remotely support range, things do not seem to get better. I've started taking seminars regarding starting my own business - not a tech related business I may add. While I love technology in all it's forms, I don't believe I can go much longer in the support area. I agree with the other posters that taking yourself in another direction may be your best thing. You may decide that you do want to continue with support. You may discover that you never want to do that job again. Either way, you seem to be young and unattached, this is the time of your life to try new things! We all get stuck in a rut it seems, that this 'career' we've chosen first has to be what we do for the rest of our lives. It isn't, and for better growth as a human, it shouldn't be.
