Yeah, AScott DID give good advice - you didn't; you just came in with a fuckwit attitude, and when called on it, still copped some attitude. For you to insult me is just one huge "Pot meet Kettle".

I'd love to get out of IT if I could afford to, but right now I have no desire to try to live on a starting over salary of around $30K (that's approx 24,400 in Euros), and that's only if someone would hire a person with no experience in that industry - a barrier I face everyday here in Houston where fully 48% of all jobs are in the oil and gas industry or support the companies in the oil and gas industry, an industry that rarely hires from outside the industry (unless we have a Bill Clinton economy, which ain't gonna happen for the next 10 years).
