Reply #7: I can't entirely blame those younger than us...

[Deja Q]

I'm also mid-30s and, for a while, was put off by continuing in IT. Offshoring has hurt this country, but it's not going to ruin it. Our kids do need a little more faith, but if they're anything like the kids I went to school with, they'll shrug everything off in favor of the new xbox video game and call technically adept people "geeks".

I've recently changed my mind. It's not too late, I am smart, I have my compensations for my few flaws (ADD), and I can make it after all.

But don't expect me to take a frilly hat and throw it up into the air at the IDS tower come winter... Oh no, it's an esoteric Mary Tyler Moore reference! :cry:



Good luck to you too. :toast:
