So what next?

I have been in the same company for over 10 years and am now bored with what I do. I have always been quick to jump out of bed and go to work, but each day that slips away a bit more.

The first problem is that I am bored with the industry I am in (IT) and would like to learn something new that would give me that spring back in my (work) step.

The second problem is that I don't really know what I want to do........so therefore does anyone have any suggestions, absolutely anything reasonable.

You know what I do Kev (IT Sales), I used to be a techie but got bored with it. hated the travelling, being on-site for 8 hours and the cr&p that goes with it, and got bored with the technology.

If it floats your boat we can have a chat about it, Can set you up with a few informal meetings with some people i know who run sales teams.

Other than that, the PGA tour looks a great career

Try side-stepping slightly, but staying within IT. Pick your weakest point, and try to improve it with experience.

I work in IT, and have most of my working life (not that long then). I've done everything from 1st line user support, through DBA, code monkey, site tech, etc etc.

Each role is very different.

hang on a sec, I've just thought about this !!!

If you leave, who'll raise orders for me at your place ???

Stay, its great !

Sky diving instructor?

Some of my advice is pure genius. Other bits of advice need carefull sifting to find the genius inside.

Sadly that will get you nowhere these days, its more like "Is that a large meal sir?" Thats much more geared to towards the selling market.

As for other jobs. P*rn camera man?
