It's off-topic of course! Why everyone keeps saying, that IT is boring? It actually depends on what you do, IT as well as other industries is very wide. Practice low level C or Ada (IT guys will understand), apply for position in avionics and you are already in aviation industry. Acquire licenses, work hard, and you might get into flight testing one day. There are lots of positions out there!
I'm currently working in embedded, and it gets very exciting once doing something really interesting (set-top box, or mobile device). For the last year I've been traveling more, than some businessmen do (28+ flights). Do you still think it's boring?
