Submission + - Ask Slashdot: Moving away from the IT field?
irving47 writes: With the economy the way it is, it's a little iffy to even think about switching careers completely, but lately, I've gotten more and more fed up with trying to keep up with the technical demands of companies or customers that are financially and even verbally unappreciative. While I might be good at it, and the money adequate, I'm curious to hear from slashdotters that have gone cold-turkey from their IT/Networking careers to something once foreign to them. How did you deal with the income difference, if any? Do you find yourself dealing with people more, and if so, how do you feel about it?
