Someone mentioned getting into IT in an earlier post.
Well I'm a wannabe Airline Pilot, trying to get out of IT! I'm fed up with the 1 hour train journey to Waterloo, the battle to get a seat, invariably standing all the way. Get to the office, same old faces and office politics. Same old users complaining that the system is either too slow or doesn't work. Too busy so you always have a sandwhich at ones desk. While you are eating the hotline rings so you have to answer. Five users chasing you for resoltions to earlier calls. About to leave at the end of the day
and the system crashes so you are obliged to stay and sort the problem out. Then on call at weekends for system upgrades, regulatory upgrades. You take work home to complete as you ran out of time durnig the day etc etc etc.
And you still want to leave the airlines.... you must be crazy!
