money?
Dawgz Rule:
Agree with Kahlid 100%. It is all about experience and fit. IT is still an industry where you have to start from the bottom and work your way up. At least that is how it is on the ops side of the house. All of my engineers started in a help desk role and broke out from there into security, infrastructure, etc. If you're good, you can move up the ranks pretty quickly.

In a large company all the Directors ever do is sign off on "emergency changes" that were not tested, verified, and the off hours support work is not arranged ahead of time. They are the rubber stamp for "---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- we shouldn't do but will look good on upper management's status report if it works".

update:
well I started my new (old job really) I have forgotten much but it is coming back to me.
stress level non existent compared to roll-form. sane pay same shift same breaks even.
I am really enjoying watching my old boss struggle with out me. LOL
my head has stopped bobbing for the most part. I am staying on the pills for 6 more months
I still have a twitch in the neck ever so often and really over nothing. Things seem to be calming down and not dog pile on me and I hope to get back to my P90X soon.
I added a few pounds. 180 lbs. still a long way from my heaviest. 240lbs. Back to fat shredder diet. I will lose this stubborn 15 lbs.breaking the 200 lbs was hard. looks like I hit a wall again. Chin ups are really the only exercise I do.
I still think the planet would be better off with no cash value on a darn thing.
I really think we could all get along with out it. But it would take all to do it. A small group would never survive long. I also Think life would slow down.
We do not live the life that we were put on this planet to do.
I really think we out live our bodies now and really screwed up the order of life.
Mankind was meant to hunt and gather food.
well that is really my shrink talking but it does sound right to me

Daywane, it's a good idea to hold off on accepting some idea if you cannot reconcile it with what you know is true. Money, as others have mentioned, serves a useful purpose. It allows you to trade your skills with people who don't need or want your skills. For example, maybe you raise cattle and the local bricklayer is a vegetarian. He doesn't want any beef, but since you can sell your product for money, and he can sell his service for money, you both have a common means of trade.
So, you can see how money serves a purpose. Before you conclude that life would be better without it you I really think you should decide how you can accomplish the same tasks better without money. Remember, money doesn't create wealth. In a world without money, if most the people want apples, and few people want peaches, the man with the apple orchard is richer than the man with the peach orchard, because the man with the apple orchard can trade his apples for more things than the man with the peach orchard. Apples are more valuable than peaches. It has nothing to do with money. Money simply facilitates trade. It makes it more efficient. It makes it so the local dairy farmer can buy apples even if the apple farmer is lactose intolerant.
daywane:
every one keeps going to trade.
I mean no trade or anything. Just produce as we do today and go to walmart and get what you need.
PERIOD .
it seems so simple. I would work for free for that.
would you not?
think of ant's.
If you ask me that is what we are as a human race. nothing more than insects on this planet.
