Introduction

So you think you're interested in I.T. ? No doubt you've seen the job ads - thousands of dollars to be made, new and exciting work, unlimited opportunities.

Chances are you are mathematically inclined - you like numbers and you are logical. You can follow a set of instructions. You probably enjoy using your PC at home.

So what is a job in I.T. REALLY like ? What work do you actually do ? Who do you interact with ? Do you actually talk to anyone ? Is there any job satisfaction ? Is it true about the money to be made ? Is the job changing ? What makes a good I.T. person ?

You have just found the blog to answer those questions. Based on 20 years of experience from a 'pretend' I.T. developer. Pretend ? Well I didn't actually study Computer Science at University. I did Accounting so my perspective is a little different. But it may just give you a bit of a feel for the career you are about to enter.

It's the UNOFFICIAL view of course. You won't find most of it in the KPMG manuals or your Tertiary course. Hopefully you will find something though.....
