Careers After Tech?

theinfobox asks: "Is anyone else burned out on tech jobs? Or, has anyone tired of the never ending hunt for tech position? I know a lot of people who have and they are now looking at other career fields. I am almost at that point myself. What career fields are you considering after leaving the tech industry?"

As a student in a non-law school grad. program who is taking a law-school class, i can tell you that law schools definitely have very many very fine women. And what else is there, really?

Ah, so you hate your job huh? There is a support group for that, its called EVERYONE, We meet at the bar.

I like making pizza.

You end up smelling like pizza, but it's an easy job, and you get to eat a lot of pizza. 'Managers' only make $10 an hour but it's better than a lot of other jobs. Besides, it factors 'food' right out of your monthly expenses.

I love the tech part of my job. The reason I would think about going into a different field is because I am tired of dealing with 40 year old tax dodging peices of shit that still live at home with there moms and rock themselves like monkeys in psyc experiments that were given the wire mother.

I am sick of people not bathing, brushing their teeth. I am sick of them farting all of the time. Hell one time a co-worker almost puked on me( I had to jump out of the way ) we had just gone out for indian food and I thought it might have been to spicy for him. I asked "are you o.k.?" he says it was a buffet I just ate to much.

I worked with a guy who rubbed boogers all over his cube. I worked with ... I could go on. All of the stereotypes are true - everywhere I worked. These guys were all good programmers. As long as teh project was small enough that you did not have to colaberate.

Hell I am a geek, but I am having a hard time dealing with the other geeks.

you've got some attitude there, my friend.

What were you doing sticking around trying to get our jobs anyway?

Sounds like a Teamster pissed at the non-union competition. Who made you the one to say whose jobs they are? If someone wants to work in tech, great, let 'em. If you're more qualified, you'll get the job instead, right? In the words of the late Clara Peller, where's the beef?

What the high flyers will be doing next

Bill Gates - philanthropist (we can only hope)
Steve Ballmer - dance instructor (he can only hope)
Steve Jobs - playboy billionaire by day, super spy by night (he always gets the cool gigs)
Paul Allen - sporting magnate (congrats Paul, you're already there)
Larry Ellison - interior designer (daaling, I just love what you've done with the house)
Philippe Kahn - TV chef (a good cook who knows how to make things from nothing is priceless)
Carly Fiorina - take over the Martha Stewart empire (because it needs to re"invent" itself)
Michael Dell - pro surfer (dude, you're getting a board!)
Jean-Louis Gassee - paranoid schizophrenic (why won't they just let him Be?)
