what you say is true in most cases - I agree it is essential to look at the downsides of a job.
Being in IT myself and also an flying enthusiast I will tell you the downsides of being in IT.
Your sat at your desk thinking "hmmm, I really wanna go flying now".
And thats pretty much it. If your in an industry and you are not happy because you want to do something else, then you have to do it. We only live once after all. I wont go into the negatives of working in IT but i'm sure Mike knows a few or two.
Best wishes all
