I really should have done the MCSE a very long time ago, but things happen - you know? Moving, college, kids, house, had-to-get-a-real-job, etc. Now I have decided to curb all of my small dreams and get back to what I really need to be doing - advancing my career. This state job isn't going anywhere. That's no one's fault, really - there's just nowhere to move up to. The state decided to privatize IT, the very place I had my sights on. So any job I might have been looking to score just disappeared June 1, 2009.
There is only one person above me and I'll never have his job. He's no longer a techie - it's a political thing now. I simply have to move on to better things. I'm not going to pay the bills brewing beer, creating Android apps, developing super-duper web apps, recycling bicycles, or consulting on the side, so I have to go back to school. The Rehberg Technology Institute, I like to call it. Right out in the back yard. And sometimes at the kitchen table.
My goal: to become the CIO in a large firm. It has to start sometime.
