I can totally feel the pain on this post. I've been at the same job for about four years now and could rant endlessly about the hourly wage, my yearly comission that got cut into less than half - because they didn't realize a web site would produce this many sales - and lack of benefits. I received my yearly comission last week and after spending several hours mad & upset I decided to beef up my skills over the next 6 months - year and put forth extra effort toward my career and education. Once I've accomplished that I will move on to something new. I am the whole IT department for this company - code, design, SEO, hardware, software, etc... and while I enjoy getting to do a little of everything on a regular basis it has hendered me to being master of anything.
My plans? Finish current side projects and start building a portfolio of some sort to show off what I am capable of instead of counting on my 'job', learn a new language or two and build a couple apps with them, finish up some classes - find something rewarding at least part of the time instead of just somewhere I have to show up on a regular basis to get a paycheck. < / rant > ~ Donna On 1/10/06, RG DevGuy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Tim, I totally agree!
