Some want to hear how much power and prestige they will have if they become an IT person.
😛
99% of newcomers entering IT looking for power and prestige will end up dissapointed. How about pouring your time and creative energy into a project for six months only to watch it get scrapped by exectuve management, sit unused by end users, or have someone else take credit for it's success? :ermm:
Unless an IT professional develops the next Angry Birds or Candy Crush as a personal side project, it's highly unlikely they'll ever gain power and prestige. 😎
+1 😛 That kind of reminds me. I got a Christmas present from my daughter this past year that fits this scenario perfectly. It is a T-Shirt that reads "Business runs the world. The database runs business. I run the database."
