Pick a different job
-
Suppose you were to pick another job entirely outside of IT, programming, engineering altogether. What would you choose? I have been thinking about this lately and I have thought teaching might actually be fun given the right situation. Any other thoughts, what would you pick?

I would go for college soccer coach. If I had not had to work during college, probably shoot for professional soccer player. Teacher would follow a close second (third?). Jeremy Jeremy Oldham

I would probably go back to school and become a pyro-technician. I would love to blow things up as an explosives special effects artist or make fireworks. Rick
Along with pyro-special effects, I have thought that demolition work sounds interesting. But I would only want to do the part where I decided how the building should come down and what would be the best way to do that. The weeks that it takes to strip the building down to its skeleton and prepare for demolition doenst sound as fun.

Beware! There is a lot of work that goes into teaching. It can be very rewarding though. For me: 1) Astronaut 2) Pilot 3) Astronomer 4) Gardening/Landscaping 5) Mr. Mom (stay home with kids)

I wouldn't mind being a football or basketball coach but the parents and fans would get on my nerves.

start page ; articles henderson is coming henderson is an opponent's worst nightmare * googlism *I just started coaching my son's Under 5 soccer team. It is amazing how parents act. I had six kids on my team including my son. I had one parent who told me "if my son does not stop crying everytime he falls down, I am not going to let him play soccer anymore". I had another parent who said "If my son does not start running out there I want you to pull his butt. He is way to slow!" Now I was pretty competitive when I got older playing, but these kids were 4 years old. I told both parents that these kids are too young and if they wanted to go out an play with the flowers when it was their turn on the field, more power to them. I used to referee Under 8 soccer and I only did that one season because of the parents. Jeremy Jeremy Oldham

Child care, or teaching at a lower primary level, before they turn into feral brats. Or I could be a lumberjack..... Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 C# will attract all comers, where VB is for IT Journalists and managers - Michael P Butler 05-12-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

Yuck - I spent my childhood doing that ( my dad was a landscape gardener ) and I think that's where my resolve to work indoors came from.
