haha, nope I work in the educational sector. I like having my winter break, spring break, and summer hours (I don't get summers off).

Yeah management is different. My bosses always come to us for help or questions. You need to manage, but then it depends on which end of management you get into.

my pay is decent, and its getting better. Got over $8k in raises since I started there 2 years ago. But I do side work consulting and working IT for small businesses and get to charge an hourly contract rate and write off expenses for tax stuff (I have an accountant that does all that for me).

I do get 15 sick days per a year, 2 personal days and 12 days of vacation plus every holiday off and all the school breaks. I like that.

yeh, they gave me $5k raise within two months to keep me, but i still left after one year. i do the same, consult on the side for a hefty rate ;) btw, i think this is my 100th post yay. going home. selling stuff tomorrow!
