To add to my earlier post, that is exactly why I work for the school district. I am a one-man IT shop for 1300 students, 200 faculty, 6 buildings. The diversity in my day is unmatched in any other environment. I rarely have two days that are the same. At times, that can be very frustrating, and it's difficult to feel as though we're ever moving forward, but I have undertaken numerous large projects in the district, so on the whole, we are moving forward. I have had numerous opportunities to accept other positions for a company, and each time I've contemplated the opportunity, it always comes down to whether I feel I can be comfortable doing the exact same thing day in and day out. For example, I'm somewhat decent programmer, but do I feel as though I would enjoy programming on a daily basis? Not even close. I'd rather program on a limited basis, as necessary. This can also be a detriment as well, because I wouldn't consider myself an "expert" in any one area of the field, so if I were ever in a position to be considered for an "expert" position, I probably wouldn't cut the mustard. I do always feel that I'm in the mix for any position that needs a diversified individual capable of handling many unrelated events.
