I never really wanted to go into IT as such, the first time I went to college I was studying Media and wanted to take that to go onto film making. Sadly I only lasted a year in college as I came to realise very quickly that if I wanted to actually make money this was something that had major hazards on wanting to have money. I had always been interested in IT and I liked computers but it was only when I went back to college a second and third time that I actually did anything with regards to IT.
The first job I had in IT was working for a family run business building and fixing PCs, sadly this job did not last very long and its actually what drove me to go back to college but when I finished there IT became very much a part of my life, I moved for a job in IT and I have never looked back.
The thing is I don't know if this is a career for me, the idea of a career scares me mainly because I don't have a huge amount of self-confidence and am affectively just waiting for the rug to be pulled out from underneath me, do I want to do this for the rest of my life? I don't know. Will I be? I can't answer that either, it seems these days that a lot of people I know including myself are affectively just hovering, doing enough to get by but not really investing in a long term approach that people of my father’s generation did. Where do you stand on this?
