: And both rated well. Since you don't like your job and think the outlook is bleak, sounds like you should move into aviation full-time. :-) Actually, I am currently running a small niche market software company, which has an optimistic outlook for the time being. As far as aviation full time, an instructor's salary won't support my growing family of 5 in its current condition, and I don't have the proper certifications or total hours to go further than that for some time. Besides, I would lose much of the pleasure of flight if I were being forced to fly for hire (and make decisions like land in 0/0 conditions because the guy paying my salary says so)... Perhaps when I retire and the kids are moved out and I have an income coming from my investments I will become a flight instructor to keep myself busy and keep my hours up. Yes, IT is a broad field and in general it is doing very well and the outlook is great also. Sure, there are some niche areas that may not do as well, but you suggested that the entire IT field was looking bad and that simply isn't even close to being accurate. There are some niche areas that are doing well, and some others that are not. I'm not sure how that relates to IT as a whole, but I wouldn't take my original comment TOO seriously - it was not intended as a report of some statistical study that I have done. It was just a cynical remark meant in light mockery of Newps's attempts to force his kid to do what he wants (or doesn't want) based on conditions that could be very different by the time his son actually gets there... Anyway, happy New Year... |
