I have been in the IT game for neraly 20 years. I have done many aspects of it from programming to help desk to network engineer, you name it. Almost 10 years ago, I started my own company. My rules, my hours, my ass on the line. I wouldn't change it for an instant. Sure there are things I do without. I don't have all the cushy benefits that big companies have, but then again, I don't deal with their politics. When my wife was pregnant, I went to every doctors appointment with her. I don't miss stuff at my kids schools or activities.
So, once you get some experience, see if you can find a niche and start your own gig. Its hard, but the upside is way better on your own, than it is in a big company. Besides, the days of big company employment from start to retirement are long gone. Good luck. Just my 2 cents. |
