I was the same as you in 1995 (Score 1)

I understand your statements perfectly. I obtained my CS degree in 1995 and went straight into heavy coding and later to Project Management. I was burned out in a matter of a few years. I did various work from Network Admin, Systems Admin, Network Design and Web Development looking for my happiness. By gaining basic knowledge in several areas of IT work I unknowingly positioned myself for success down the road. I now happily live in the beautiful Caribbean working for small businesses and hotels. My work varies widely such as: Network design/development and configuration, Web Development, Wireless Networks, Remote Systems Admin and basically anything else based on needs. My advice. Gain experience and then follow your heart. Dean
