I was a production supervisor and scheduler until i changed roles and wanted to get some more financial experience, so now I'm split duty between scheduling and being a cost accountant. Got my undergrad in Management and my MBA in corporate technology and innovation, so if you're in the Charlotte, nc area and need me to come run/manage a company let me know, getting ready to hit the resumés hard in the near future.

Just had my first kid too, so doing what i can to help my wife get her dream of being a stay at home mom.

My company provides outsourced IT services for small businesses between 5 -100 employees. Typically our clients have outgrown "Cousin frank does all our computer stuff" and they're not big enough to hire a full time IT guy.

+1 for the mention of communication skills. There are alot of IT folks out there, but the ability to talk to a business owner, understand their needs, and sell them a solution is $$$. Business owners don't want the geek speak, they just want a reliable solution so they can focus on their business.

Well, I work in a forested area mostly, wearing green tights. I spend a lot of time assisting campers and working with the animals. I also run around tracking things and occasionally have to kill some sort of wild beast or rampaging humanoid creature.

For relaxation I like to log into a game where I spend all day sitting at a computer and typing long strings of gibberish in to make it do stuff.

Guess I should add what I do.

I freelance for half a dozen companies doing Application Packaging/SCCM Setup/Deployment

I also work for a major US Airlines.

Sadly I have not had the time to play on P99 for about a year now. I miss it everyday and visit the boards the same.

If anyone would like to ask me any questions regarding the opinions I have shared please feel free to IM me. I really had no idea breaking into IT was as difficult as it sounds reading others posts. If I could help breaking down those barriers in anyway, it would make me very happy to help.
