Well, my fears are twofold. There is the fear of the unknown and my own insecurities as to my AD/Exchange knowldge. Also, I have a 2yr old son and another on the way. That makes things doubly scary. If this were 5 yrs ago, I wouldn't think twice about jumping. I wouldn't have even read the handbook. However, thanks to you guys and some inner searching, I've decided to accept the job. Its more money and it gives me finanical and consulting experience to put on a resume. Right now, I've been working for a large liqour distributor which doesn't really excite future employers. Plus I've been there for 3yrs and sometimes I think there is a sucipscion in the IT world if you've been with one employer for too long.
My only lingering fear is, I'm nervous that if I do nothing but AD/Exchange(however much I love that stuff), my cisco,linux,etc knowldge will disappear due to lack of use. Is this a legitimate fear? Or is this the deal you have to make? Choose something and try to know it inside/out to the disregard of everything else? I suppose you can only go so far as jack of all trades and master of none? I should choose one or two technologies and study them to the exclusion of all others and just rely on the cisco guy for routing or vlan issues and the linux guy for bind and apache stuf,etc? I don't know. Thanks a lot guys. You were a huge help and I'd be lost without you! -------------------------- Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld (www.BlackBerry.net) List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
