I am having an enjoyable IT career. Every job I have had has been better than the last. As far as encouraging my children, I'm with Steve. I will help them along any path they choose to follow. I'm sure that I will put some of my personal bias in my advice, particularly if they choose a field that does not cover basics such as health insurance and such. Overall, I just want them to be happy.
