Do you enjoy doing what you do for a living? As for me, I'm currently a software developer and considering quitting and going back to college for a change in career. [/ QUOTE ] Haha funny you mention that.. i was a code monkey before I decided to try teaching.... and while teaching isn't the most fantastic job in the world, compared to coding, it is.

Yea, it wasn't the brightest move in the book, but everythign worked out ok. I just sent my resume to high schools around my area, and during the summer (when schools typically are hiring for the upcoming school year), one of the schools contacted me, I interviewed, and was offered the job literally 2 hours after I interviewed. These days though, with some recent Bush legislation, it's pretty much impossible (unless you're in the ghettoest of ghettoes) to start teaching without already having a credential.

Re: What kind of career do you have?
I'm assuming you have a Computer Science (or equiv.) degree? There is alot more in the IT field then being a software developer. Maybe instead of going back to college you give something else a shot:
- Network Engineer - Systems Engineer - Database Administrator - Systems Administrator - Analyst
